已知公差不为零的等差数列的第k、n、p项构成等比数列的连续三项,则等比数列的公比为( ) A.n−pk−n B.p−np−k C.n−kn−p D.k−pn−p
问题描述:
已知公差不为零的等差数列的第k、n、p项构成等比数列的连续三项,则等比数列的公比为( )
A.
n−p k−n
B.
p−n p−k
C.
n−k n−p
D.
k−p n−p
答
设等差数列首项为a1,公差为d,则
q=
=an ak
=ap an
ap−an
an−ak
=
=
[a1+(p−1)d]−[a1+(n−1)d]
[a1+(n−1)d]−[a1+(k−1)d]
=p−n n−k
.n−p k−n
故选A.
