For the functions f(θ) = α ^2θ + β ^2θ , and g(θ) = α ^2θ + β ^2θ ,...
For the functions , and , , let . If the first term of a G.P. is \left(\dfrac{\alpha}{2\beta}\right) and the sum of its first terms is , , then is equal to _______.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
For the function , applying the AM-GM inequality gives:
Thus, .
For the function , we can rewrite it as:
Since , the maximum value of occurs when is maximum, which is (at ).
Thus, .
Given that , we have:
Squaring both sides (since ), we get:
For the given Geometric Progression (G.P.):
First term
Common ratio
The sum of the first terms is:
We are given with .
Since and is odd, they are coprime. Therefore, and .
