A calculus problem by U Z

Calculus Level 3

Let a n {a_{n}} be an A.P with common difference d , b n {b_{n}} be a G.P with common ratio q , where q is appositive rational number . If b 1 = d b_{1} = d b 1 = d 2 b_{1} = d^{2} and ( a 1 ) 2 b 1 \frac{\sum (a_{1})^{2}}{\sum b_{1}} is a positive integer ,then q = x y q = \frac{x}{y}

x + y=


This question is flagged because it is unclear what ( a 1 ) 2 b 1 \frac{\sum (a_{1})^{2}}{\sum b_{1}} means. Supposedly, it should be indexed, as opposed to the sum of constants.


The answer is 4.
