Question

CHALLENGE Two number patterns are proportional if there is a nonzero number k such that (a1, b1, c1, . . .) 5 k(a2, b2, c2, . . .) 5 ka2, kb2, kc2, . . .. Given that a1 5 ka2, b1 5 kb2, and c1 5 kc2, show thata1 }a25 b1 }b25 c1}c2

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: CHALLENGE Two number patterns are proportional if there is a nonzero number k such that (a1, b1, c1, . . .) 5 k(a2, b2, c2, . . .) 5 ka2, kb2, kc2, . . .. Given that a1 5 ka2, b1 5 kb2, and c1 5 kc2, show thata1 }a25 b1 }b25 c1}c2
