For which (x) will (9,x,49) be consecutive terms of a positive geometric progression?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 21

For consecutive terms of a geometric progression, the square of the middle term equals the product of its neighbouring terms. Thus, \(x^2=9\times49=441\). Hence \(x=\pm21\), but the progression is stated to be positive, so \(x=21\). For example, \(28^2\ne9\times49\), so 28 cannot be the middle term. Exam tip: for three consecutive GP terms \(a,b,c\), use \(b^2=ac\) directly.
