Hii

Find out the values of the function and you will get the relation if you apply property of GM on the three given terms.

(f(2x))power 2=(fx).(f(4x)) .                                            2(2x+1)power 2=(2x+1).(2(4x)+1) .                             (4x+1)power 2=(2x+1).(8x+1) .                                     16x power 2+1+8x=16xpower2+10x+1 .                     8x=10x .                                                                           10x-8x=0 .                                                                          2x=0 .                                                                               x=0
