Áp dụng tính chất dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{d}{e}=\frac{a+b+c+d}{b+c+d+e}\)
=>\(\frac{a}{b}.\frac{b}{c}.\frac{c}{d}.\frac{d}{e}=\left(\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{b+c+d+e}\right)^4\)
=>\(\frac{a.b.c.d}{b.c.d.e}=\left(\frac{a+b+c+d}{b+c+d+e}\right)^4\)
=>\(\frac{a}{e}=\left(\frac{a+b+c+d}{b+c+d+e}\right)^4\)
