The sum of three consecutive G.P is 42 while the product is 10728.find the three terms
Answered by PsyDAG
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 3x + 3 = 42

3x = 39

x = 13

Check to see if it fits the following equation.

x(x+1)(x+2) = 10728

If the three terms are of a GP, then
a + ar + ar^2 = 42
a * ar * ar^2 = 10728
Hmmm. I suspect a typo, since the solutions are not rational. Maybe the three terms are from an AP. If so, then
a + a+d + a+2d = 42
a(a+d)(a+2d) = 10728
Again, no joy, since the solutions are not even real..

So what is the real question?
