Example 3
Insert two harmonic means between 6 and 3/2. We first
find the arithmetic means between 1/6 and 2/3. Since we have to
insert two terms,
a4= a1+(n-1)d
2/3= 1/6+(4-!)d
d=1/6
=1/6+1/6 =1/3+1/6
=1/3 =1/2
Example 4:
so, 19/6=2/3=(n-1)1/2
1/2n=19/6-2/3+1/2
a4=a3+d a5=a4+d
=5/3+1/2 =13/6+1/2
=13/6 =8/3
Sn= 3/2+6/7+3/5+6/13+3/8+6/19
=3(1/2+2/7+1/5+2/13+1/8+2/19)
= 94737 / 69160
