To find the first term of a Harmonic Progression (HP) where the second term is \( \frac{5}{4} \) and the third term is \( \frac{1}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between HP and AP In a Harmonic Progression, the reciprocals of the terms form an Arithmetic Progression (AP). Therefore, if the terms of the HP are \( A, \frac{5}{4}, \frac{1}{2} \), then the corresponding terms in AP will be \( \frac{1}{A}, \frac{4}{5}, 2 \). ### Step 2: Set up the equation for AP For the terms \( \frac{1}{A}, \frac{4}{5}, 2 \) to be in AP, the difference between the second and first term should equal the difference between the third and second term: \[ ...
