Answer:
a = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is
, then
= 16
( square both sides )
28a = (16
)² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )
a = 64
The product is 3.3333333333333 so less. hope this was helpfull
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the value of a in a/5 + 3= 8
a/5 + 3= 8
a/5 = 8 - 3
a/5 = 5
a = 5 * 5
a = 25
The three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Arithmetic progression
Let the 3 number in arithmetic progression be:
a-d, d, a+d ...
If their sum is 3, then;
a-d+d+a+d = 3
2a + d = 3 ........... 1
If the sum of their squares is 11, then;
(a-d)² + d² + (a+d)² = 11
a²-2ad+d²+d²+a²+2ad+d² 11
2a²+3d² = 11 ....... 2
Solving the equations simultaneously, d = 6 and a = 12
First-term = 12
second term = 18
Thirs term = 24
Hence the three numbers are 12, 18 and 24
Hope this helps you!!!!!! :D
