A sequence of numbers have the property that x, 12, y, where x > 0, y > 0, form a geometric sequence while 12, x, 3y form an arithmetic sequence. A)If xy = k, find k. B)Find the value of x and y.

A) Since x, 12, y form a geometric sequence, we know that there exists some real number "r" (common ratio) such that 12=xr and y=12r. Hence, r= 12/x =y/12 => xy=144 => k=144 (cros...
