Ta có: b2 = ac => \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}\); c2 = bd => \(\frac{b}{c}=\frac{c}{d}\); d2 = ce => \(\frac{c}{d}=\frac{d}{e}\); e2 = df => \(\frac{d}{e}=\frac{e}{f}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=\frac{c}{d}=\frac{d}{e}=\frac{e}{f}\)\(\Rightarrow\frac{a^5}{b^5}=\frac{b^5}{c^5}=\frac{c^5}{d^5}=\frac{d^5}{e^5}=\frac{e^5}{f^5}\)
Áp dụng tính chất dãy tỉ số bằng nhau, ta có:
\(\frac{a^5}{b^5}=\frac{b^5}{c^5}=\frac{c^5}{d^5}=\frac{d^5}{e^5}=\frac{e^5}{f^5}=\frac{a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5+e^5}{b^5+c^5+d^5+e^5+f^5}\)(1)
Lại có: \(\frac{a^5}{b^5}=\frac{a}{b}.\frac{a}{b}.\frac{a}{b}.\frac{a}{b}.\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a}{b}.\frac{b}{c}.\frac{c}{d}.\frac{d}{e}.\frac{e}{f}=\frac{a}{f}\)(2)
Từ (1), (2) \(\Rightarrow\frac{a^5+b^5+c^5+d^5+e^5}{b^5+c^5+d^5+e^5+f^5}=\frac{a}{f}\)(đpcm)
