If a, b, c are in geometric progression,...

If a, b, c are in geometric progression, then prove that :
`(1)/(a^(2)-b^(2))+(1)/(b^(2))=(1)/(b^(2)-c^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
a, b, c are in G.P.
`rArr" "b^(2)=ac`
`"L.H.S."=(1)/(a^(2)-b^(2))+(1)/(b^(2))`
`=(1)/(a^(2)-ac)+(1)/(ac)" [From eq. (1)]"`
`=(1)/(a(a-c))+(1)/(ac)=(c+(a-c))/(ac(a-c))`
`=(a)/(ac(a-c))=(1)/(c(a-c))=(1)/(ac-c^(2))`
`=(1)/(b^(2)-c^(2))" [From eq. (1)]"`
`"R. H. S."`
