Question

The value of the first term of a G.P if its sum of three numbers is 7 and their
product is 8.* find the gp.

Answer 1

Answer:

Assume that the 4 terms are a/r, a , ar, ar2.

Product of first 3 terms = a3 =8

=> a=2

Sum of last 3 terms :

a(1 + r + r2) = 14

=> r2 + r - 6 = 0

Solving the above equation r= -3 or 2

So the terms are

-2/3, 2, -6, 18

Or

1, 2, 4, 8
