(ii) If a,b,c are in GP as well as x1,x2,x3,x4 are in GP, then p,q,r are in??

(iii)If x1,x2,x3,x4 are in GP, then its common ratio is??

abc · Answer

Kindly confirm on the roots of the second equation. I suppose it must be x₃, x₄ and not x³, x⁴ as mentioned.
On this supposition, let me provide the solution for the first question. If it is OK, kindly give a feed back, basing on which let me give the solutions for the rest of questions.

[Even it is not correct, kindly give me a feed back, so that I can delete my solution - there by avoiding unnecessary TD ratings. Thanks and kind of your feed back]

Solution for question 1.

i) Applying properties of roots of Q.E.,
x₁ + x₂ = -b/a and x₁*x₂ = c/a --------- (1)
x₃ + x₄ = -q/p and x₃*x₄ = r/p ----------- (2)

ii) Since, x₁, x₂, 1/x₃, 1/x₄ are in A.P.,
x₂ - x₁ = 1/x₄ - 1/x₃ [Definition of AP - Difference of successive terms remain same]

==> x₂ - x₁ = (x₃ - x₄)/(x₃*x₄)

Squaring both sides, (x₂ - x₁)² = (x₃ - x₄)²/(x₃*x₄)²

Applying algebraic identity, (a - b)² = (a + b)² - 4ab to the above,
(x₂ + x₁)² - 4x₁*x₂ = {(x₃ + x₄)² - 4x₃*x₄}/(x₃*x₄)²

Substituting the values from equations (1) & (2) to the above,
(b²/a²) - 4c/a = [(q²/p²) - 4r/p]/(r/p)²

This simplifies as: (b² - 4ac)/a² = (q² - 4pr)/r²

So, (b² - 4ac)/(q² - 4pr) = (a/r)²
