To prove that the terms \( x, y, z \) (which are the 4th, 10th, and 16th terms of a geometric progression) are themselves in geometric progression, we need to show that \( y^2 = xz \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the terms of the GP**: Let the first term of the geometric progression (GP) be \( A \) and the common ratio be \( R \). The \( n \)-th term of a GP is given by: \[ T_n = A \cdot R^{n-1} ...
