Geometric progressiob

If the sum of four consective terms of geometric progression is 80 and arithmetic mean of second and fourth term is 30 then find terms?

Correct result:

a =  2
b =  6
c =  18
d =  54

Solution:

a+b+c+d=80 (b+d)/2=30 b=qa c=qb d=qc  a+c+2⋅ 30=80 a+c=20  a+aq2=20  a(1+q2)=20 qa(1+q2)=60 q=60/20=3  a=201+q2=201+32=2
b=q⋅ a=3⋅ 2=6
c=q⋅ b=3⋅ 6=18
d=q⋅ c=3⋅ 18=54
