Question

If a, b, c are in A.P., prove that: $\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2+4\text{ac}=2(\text{ab}+\text{bc}+\text{ca})$

✓

Answer

If $\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2+4\text{ac}=2(\text{ab}+\text{bc}+\text{ca})$ Then, $\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{ac}-2\text{ab}=2(\text{ab}+\text{bc}+\text{ca})$ or $(\text{a}+\text{b}+-\text{c})^2-\text{b}^2=0$ $[\therefore(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})^2=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{ab}+2\text{ac}+2\text{bc}]$ or $\text{b}=\text{a}+\text{c}-\text{b}$ or $2\text{b}=\text{a}+\text{c}$ $\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}}{2}$ and since, $\text{a},\text{b},\text{c}$ are in A.P $\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{c}}{2}$ Thus, $\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2+4\text{ac}=2(\text{ab}+\text{bc}+\text{ca})$ Hence proved.
