Natural Numbers

If a, b, c,...

Question

If $a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h$ are eight consecutive natural numbers, then prove that
$a^{2} + d^{2} + f^{2} + g^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} + e^{2} + h^{2}$

Solution

Solution -
Let numbers be $a, a + 1, a + 2, - - - - a + 7$
Their square sum $= a^{2} + (a + 1)^{2} + (a + 2)^{2} + - - - - (a + 7)^{2}$
$= 8 a^{2} + 140 + 56 a$
Now LHS
$a^{2} + d^{2} + f^{2} + g^{2} = a^{2} + (a + 3)^{2} + (a + 5)^{2} + (a + 6)^{2}$
$= 4 a^{2} + 70 + 28 a$
RHS, $b^{2} + c^{2} + e^{2} + h^{2} = (a + 1)^{2} + (a + 2)^{2} + (a + 4)^{2} + (a + 7)^{2}$
$= 4 a^{2} + 70 + 28 a$
LHS = RHS

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} = \frac{e}{f}

(\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}} + \frac{c^{2}}{d^{2}} + \frac{e^{2}}{f^{2}}) = (\frac{a c}{b d} + \frac{c e}{d f} + \frac{a e}{b f})

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} = \frac{e}{f}

(b^{2} + d^{2} + f^{2}) \times (a^{2} + c^{2} + e^{2}) = (a b + c d + e f)^{2}

are in continued proportion, prove that

(a b + b c + c d + d e)^{2} = (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2}) (b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2} + e^{2})

If a, b, c, d are in G.p., prove that :

(i) $(a^{2} + b^{2}), (b^{2} + c^{2}), (c^{2} + d)^{2}$ are in G.P.

(ii) $(a^{2} - b^{2}), (b^{2} - c^{2}), (c^{2} - d)^{2}$ are in G.P.

(iii) $\frac{1}{a^{2} + b^{2}}, \frac{1}{b^{2} + c^{2}}, \frac{1}{c^{2} + d^{2}}$ are in G.P.

(iv) $(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}), (a b + b c + c d), (b^{2} + c^{2} + d^{2})$
