Question -

Insert 5 geometric means between 32/9 and 81/2.



Answer -

Let the five terms bea1, a2, a3, a4, a5.

A = 32/9, B = 81/2

Now,┬аthese 5terms are between A and B.

So the GP is: A, a1,a2, a3, a4, a5, B.

So we now have 7 termsin GP with the first term being 32/9 and seventh being 81/2.

We know that,┬аTn┬а=arnтАУ1

Here, Tn┬а=┬а81/2,a = 32/9 and

81/2 = 32/9r7-1

(81├Ч9)/(2├Ч32) = r6

r = 3/2

a1┬а=Ar = (32/9)├Ч3/2 = 16/3

a2┬а=Ar2┬а= (32/9)├Ч9/4 = 8

a3┬а=Ar3┬а= (32/9)├Ч27/8 = 12

a4┬а=Ar4┬а= (32/9)├Ч81/16 = 18

a5┬а=Ar5┬а= (32/9)├Ч243/32 = 27

тИ┤┬аThe five GMbetween 32/9 and 81/2 are 16/3, 8, 12, 18, 27
