If n geometric means are inserted betwee...

If n geometric means are inserted between two quantities ; then the product of n geometric means is the nth power of the single geometric mean between two quantities.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Suppose `a` and `b` are two numbers and geometric mean between them are `G_1, G_2,G_3, ldots , G_n`
Then
`a,G_1, G_2,G_3, ldots , G_n,b` are in Geometric progression.
Then the first term =a, and common ratio =r
As `b=a_(n+2)=ar^(n+1)`
`implies r= (b/a)^(1/(n+1))`
Hence, `G_1=ar`
`G_2=ar^2`
