We have an arithmetic progression the squares of whose 12h, 13th, and 15th terms form a geometric progression. Find all the ratios of this progression.Assuming
u_n+1 = u_n + d -or- u_n+1 = u_1 + d*n
for the arithmetic progression, and
u_n+1 = u_n * q -or- u_n+1 = u_1 * q^(n-1)
for the geometric one, how do we go about this? (My results don't match with the answer in the book I took this from.)
Please only hint, don't solve!
Thanks
