Find
are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence, in that order
are three consecutive terms of a geometric sequence, in that order
Find
Solution
In the arithmetic sequence let be the common difference, so and Then so This simplifies to If then so Since 17955 is not a perfect cube, so
Then and Substituting into we get Then so Hence, and so
Then and Substituting into we get Then so Hence, and so
Final answer
-63
