Answer:

Common ratio = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

2nd term = a1r and 3rd = a1r^2

So (a1)^2 r^3 = 972

a1 = 3/4, so

(3/4)^2 r^3 = 972

r^3 = 972 / 9/16

r^3 = 972*16/9 = 1728

r = 12.

Solve the equation 2cosA = 3tanA

zavuch27 [327]

$\bf sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

2cos(A)=3tan(A)\implies 2cos(A)=3\cfrac{sin(A)}{cos(A)}
\\\\\\
2cos^2(A)=3sin(A)\implies 2[1-sin^2(A)]=3sin(A)
\\\\\\
2-2sin^2(A)=3sin(A)\implies 2sin^2(A)+3sin(A)-2$

$\bf \\\\\\
0=[2sin(A)-1][sin(A)+2]\implies 
\begin{cases}
0=2sin(A)-1\\
1=2sin(A)\\
\frac{1}{2}=sin(A)\\\\
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\measuredangle A\\\\
\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{5\pi }{6}\\
----------\\
0=sin(A)+2\\
-2=sin(A)
\end{cases}$

now, as far as the second case....well, sine of anything is within the range of -1 or 1, so -1 < sin(A) < 1

now, we have -2 = sin(A), which simply is out of range for a valid sine, so there's no angle with such sine

so, only the first case are the valid angles for A
