Đặt: \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=k\)
=> \(\frac{a}{b}.\frac{b}{c}=k^2\)
=> \(\frac{a}{c}=k^2\) (1)
Lại có: \(\frac{a+b}{b+c}=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=k\)
=> \(\left(\frac{a+b}{b+c}\right)^2=k^2\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2) => \(\left(\frac{a+b}{b+c}\right)^2=\frac{a}{c}\)
Giải:
Đặt \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}=k\)
\(\Rightarrow a=bk,b=ck\)
Ta có:
\(\frac{a}{c}=\frac{bk}{c}=\frac{bkk}{ck}=\frac{bkk}{b}=k^2\) (1)
\(\left(\frac{a+b}{b+c}\right)^2=\left(\frac{bk+ck}{b+c}\right)^2=\left[\frac{k\left(b+c\right)}{b+c}\right]^2=k^2\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2) suy ra \(\frac{a}{c}=\left(\frac{a+b}{b+c}\right)^2\)
Vậy \(\frac{a}{c}=\left(\frac{a+b}{b+c}\right)^2\)
