Lời giải:
Từ \(b^2=ac; c^2=bd; d^2=ce\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{b}{a}=\frac{c}{b}; \frac{c}{b}=\frac{d}{c}; \frac{d}{c}=\frac{e}{d}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{b}{a}=\frac{c}{b}=\frac{d}{c}=\frac{e}{d}\).
Đặt \( \frac{b}{a}=\frac{c}{b}=\frac{d}{c}=\frac{e}{d}=k\Rightarrow b=ak; c=bk; d=ck; e=dk\)
Khi đó:
\(\frac{a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4}{b^4+c^4+d^4+e^4}=\frac{a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4}{a^4k^4+b^4k^4+c^4k^4+d^4k^4}=\frac{a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4}{k^4(a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4)}=\frac{1}{k^4}(1)\)
Và: \(bcde=ak.bk.ck.dk\)
\(\Rightarrow e=ak^4\Rightarrow \frac{a}{e}=\frac{1}{k^4}(2)\)
Từ \((1);(2)\Rightarrow \frac{a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4}{b^4+c^4+d^4+e^4}=\frac{a}{e}\)
