Question

Let u be a vector on rectangular coordinate system with sloping angle 600, suppose that u-i^ is geometric mean of

u and u-2i^  where i^ is the unit vector along x-axis then the value of (2+1) u is

Moderate
Solution

∵angle between uand i^ is 600  u . i^ =ui^ cos 600=u2 given that u, u-i^, u-2i^  are in G.P.  u-i^2 = u u-2i^ squarring on both sides

​​​​​u2+ i^22  u¯.i^2=u2   u2+4i^24  u.i^u2+ 12  u22=u2   u2+4x14u2u2+2u1=0​​u =2±222u=21
