Question

The 3rd and 7th terms of a harmonic progression are 1/12 and 1/32 respectively. Find the 1st and 2nd term, show solution pls, so I will be able to understand how did you get the answer. Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

In Mathematical terms, a progression is basically a number series which follows a specific pattern. Building on this definition, a Harmonic Progression (HP) can be defined as a series of real numbers which is calculated by taking reciprocals of the arithmetic progression reciprocals which do not contain 0. Any term in this type of sequence is regarded as the harmonic means of its two neighbours.

For example, the series a, b, c, d, for example, is called an arithmetic progression, the harmonic progression may be written as 1/a, 1/b, 1/c, 1/d.
