Given that ((a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) )/(a^n +b^n )) is AM between a  and b ,where a≠b ∧ a,b≠0; find out the value of n.

 ((a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) )/(a^n +b^n ))=((a+b)/2)  2(a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) )=(a+b)(a^n +b^n )  2a^(n+1) +2b^(n+1) =a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) +ab^n +ba^n   a^(n+1) +b^(n+1) =ab^n +ba^n   a^n (a−b)=b^n (a−b)  since a≠b, a−b≠0 and (a/b)≠1  ⇒a^n =b^n   ⇒((a/b))^n =1  ⇒n=((log 1)/(log ((a/b))))=(0/(log ((a/b))))=0
$$\:\frac{{a}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +{b}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }{{a}^{{n}} +{b}^{{n}} }=\frac{{a}+{b}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\left({a}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +{b}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \right)=\left({a}+{b}\right)\left({a}^{{n}} +{b}^{{n}} \right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{a}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{2}{b}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} ={a}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +{b}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +{ab}^{{n}} +{ba}^{{n}} \\ $$$${a}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +{b}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} ={ab}^{{n}} +{ba}^{{n}} \\ $$$${a}^{{n}} \left({a}−{b}\right)={b}^{{n}} \left({a}−{b}\right) \\ $$$${since}\:{a}\neq{b},\:{a}−{b}\neq\mathrm{0}\:{and}\:\frac{{a}}{{b}}\neq\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}^{{n}} ={b}^{{n}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{{a}}{{b}}\right)^{{n}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{n}=\frac{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{log}\:\left(\frac{{a}}{{b}}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{0}}{\mathrm{log}\:\left(\frac{{a}}{{b}}\right)}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

Thαnks a lot Sir!
