In a particular graph, at any point (c+x), y , (c-x) are in GP where c is a constant.
What is the figure formed by the graph?

since C is constant, then the coordinates x and y having a common ration will make a fixed point and a point which moves an equal distance to the fixed point, thus forming a circle.

( c + x ) , y , ( c − x ) are in GP ⇒ y 2 = c 2 − x 2 ⇒ x 2 + y 2 = c 2 Which is the equation of a circle having centre at origin & radius equal to c.
