if a b 9 are in GP

b÷a = 9 ÷ b

b^2 = 9a

if a - 1 b 9 are in AP

2b = a+8

b = a+8÷2

substitute

b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a

(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a

a^2+16a+64 = 36a

a^2 -20a +64 =0

(a-16) (a-4) =0

a= 16 or a=4

when a=16 b= 12

when a=4 b= 6

Value of a and b are given above

Which factor do 64x^2 + 48x + 9 and 64x^2 - 9 have in common?
Ber [7]
Start with the second expression.  That factors easily into (8x-3)(8x+3).
Since 64x^2 + 48x + 9 has no negative signs, I'd bet that the common factor is (8x+3).  Divide  <span>64x^2 + 48x + 9  by that to verify.
