Question 1177530: The three numbers n-2, n, n+3, are consecutive terms of a geometric progression.
i) Find n and the term after n+3 Answer by ikleyn(52794) (Show Source):
From the condition, you have this equation
(n-2)*(n+3) = n^2.
Simplify
n^2 + n - 6 = n^2
n = 6.
So, n = 6; the first three terms are 4, 6, 9, and the next term is = = = = 13.5. ANSWER
