Let numbers be consecutive terms of a geometric sequence with the common ratio . If we increase the second number by , we get consecutive arithmetic sequence terms. Find the first number.
Let there be two unknown positive numbers between numbers and . The first three numbers of these four form consecutive arithmetic sequence terms, and the last numbers form three consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. Find the smaller of the two unknown numbers.
Let there be four numbers, such that the first three numbers form consecutive arithmetic sequence terms with a difference of , and the last three numbers form consecutive terms of a geometric sequence with the common ratio . Find the fourth number.
Let there be three numbers that are three consecutive arithmetic sequence terms with a difference of . If the third number is decreased by , we get consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. Find the third number (of an arithmetic sequence).
Let there be three numbers that are consecutive arithmetic sequence terms. Their sum is . If the first number is divided by , we get consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. Find the largest number of the given three.
Let there be the first nine terms of an arithmetic sequence with the first term and the difference . Suppose we are creating ordered triples of different numbers out of the given numbers so that they form consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. How many of such triples can be created?
Let there be a row of five yellow cubes lying side by side. The first cube has an edge length of and each next cube has an edge length by shorter than the previous one. Let there be a second row of five blue cubes lying side by side. The first blue cube has an edge length of and each next cube has an edge length by smaller than the previous one. What is the difference between the length of these two rows?
