Find the value of n so that ((a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) )/(a^n +b^n )) may become the G.M. between a and b.

((a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) )/(a^n +b^n ))=(√(ab)) a/b=k⇒a=kb ((k^(n+1) +1)/(k^n +1))b=bk^(1/2) ((k^(n+1) +1)/(k^n +1))=k^(1/2) ((k^(2n+2) +1+2k^(n+1) )/(k^(2n) +1+2k^n ))=k k^(2n+2) +1+2k^(n+1) =k^(2n+1) +k+2k^(n+1) k^(2n+2) +1=k^(2n+1) +k ⇒n=−(1/2)

Check (((√a)+(√b))/((1/( (√a)))+(1/( (√b)))))=(((√a)+(√b))/( (√a)+(√b)))×(√(ab))=(√(ab))
$$\mathrm{Check} \\ $$$$\frac{\sqrt{{a}}+\sqrt{{b}}}{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{a}}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{b}}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{a}}+\sqrt{{b}}}{\:\sqrt{{a}}+\sqrt{{b}}}×\sqrt{{ab}}=\sqrt{{ab}} \\ $$
