Overview

Find $n$ so that $\dfrac{a^{n+1}+b^{n+1}}{a^n+b^n}$ may be H.M. between $a$ and $b$.

Require (\dfrac{a^{n+1}+b^{n+1}}{a^n+b^n}=\dfrac{2ab}{a+b})

Similar algebra as A.M. case leads to (n=-1).

Check: (\dfrac{a^{0}+b^{0}}{a^{-1}+b^{-1}}=\dfrac{2}{\frac{a+b}{ab}}=\dfrac{2ab}{a+b}) ✓

Answer: (n=-1)

Discuss theoretical concepts, mathematical formulas, and architectural foundations.
