three terms of AP are
the ratio of bande
Answers
✓The arithmetic mean of the first and the last term is equal to the second term.
✓Hence 3b/2 = c
✓Therefore b:c = 2:3
Please mark me as brainliest.
Answer:
b : c = 2 : 3
Solution:
The given AP is
b, c, 2b, ...
By condition for an Arithmetic Progression, we write
second term - first term = third term - second term
i.e., c - b = 2b - c
or, 2b + b = c + c
or, 3b = 2c
or, b / c = 2 / 3
or, b : c = 2 : 3
Therefore the required ratio is
b : c = 2 : 3
More on Arithmetic Progressions:
A sequence of numbers or terms
a, a + d, a + 2d, ..., a + rd, ...
is said to be in Arithmetic Progression, whenever the differences of any two consecutive terms are same. This means that the terms are in the form (a + nd), where a is the first term of the sequence, n is the finite nth term and d is the common difference.
