Find the third proportional to a – b and a2 – b2
उत्तर
Let the third proportional to a – b and a2 – b2 be x.
`=>` a – b, a2 – b2, x are in continued proportion.
`=>` a – b : a2 – b2 = a2 – b2 : x
`=> (a - b)/(a^2 - b^2) = (a^2 - b^2)/x`
`=> x = (a^2 - b^2)^2/(a - b)`
`=> x = ((a + b)(a - b)(a^2 - b^2))/(a - b)`
`=>` x = (a + b)(a2 – b2)

If a, b, c and d are in proportion prove that `sqrt((4a^2 + 9b^2)/(4c^2 + 9d^2)) = ((xa^3 - 4yb^3)/(xc^3 - 5yd^3))^(1/3)`
If `x/a = y/b = z/c` prove that `(2x^3 - 3y^3 + 4z^3)/(2a^3 - 3b^3 + 4c^3) = ((2x - 3y + 4z)/(2a - 3b + 4c))^3`
If x and y be unequal and x : y is the duplicate ratio of x + z and y + z, prove that z is mean proportional between x and y.
