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
∵angle between u→and i^ is 600 u→ . i^ =u→i^ cos 600=u→2 given that u→, u→-i^, u→-2i^ are in G.P. u→-i^2 = u→ u→-2i^ squarring on both sides
u→2+ i^2−2 u¯.i^2=u→2 u→2+4i^2−4 u→.i^u→2+ 1−2 u→22=u→2 u→2+4x1−4u→2u→2+2u→−1=0u→ =−2±222u→=2−1
