Program to find 3 Consecutive Terms in A.P. based on their Sum and Product

 This article deals with the program to determine 3 consecutive terms in Arithmetic Progression solely based on their sum and product. This is a grade 10  Math problem, whose solution is converted to C++ code. 

The following header files are used -

• iostream - For Input or output stream.
• cmath - For math operations.

The following user-defined functions are created -

• solve - This function computes and displays the result. It takes the sum and product as input and does not return any value.

C++ Code - 

// sum and product in A.P. by Vishruth Codes

#include<iostream>

#include<cmath>

using namespace std;

//Function to determine the 3 consecutive nos

void solve(int s, int p)

{

    int a,d, num1,num2,num3;

    a=s/3;

    d=sqrt((a*a*a-p)/a);

    num1=a;

    num2=a-d;

    num3=a+d;

    cout<<"\nThe 3 numbers are: "<<num1<<", "<<num2<<", "<<num3<<".";

}

int main()

{

    int sum, pro;

    cout<<"\nEnter the sum of 3 CONSECUTIVE terms: ";

    cin>>sum;

    cout<<"\nEnter the product of those 3 terms: ";

    cin>>pro;

    solve(sum,pro);

    return 0;

}

Subject - 

In the above example, I have implemented a C++ program to compute 3 consecutive integers in an A.P. based on their sum and product.

Working - 

The code is self-explanatory.

Output - 

3 Consecutive terms in A.P.
