![((b^2 +c^2 −a^2 )/(2bc))+((a^2 +b^2 −c^2 )/(2ab))=2−((c^2 +a^2 −b^2 )/(ca)) (1/(2b))(((ab^2 +ac^2 −a^3 +a^2 c+b^2 c−c^3 )/(ca)))=((2ca−c^2 −a^2 +b^2 )/(ca)) (1/(2b))[b^2 (a+c)+ac(a+c)−(a+c)(a^2 −ac+c^2 ))=b^2 −(a−c)^2 (1/(2b))[(a+c)(b^2 +ac−a^2 +ac−c^2 )]=b^2 −(a−c)^2 (1/(2b))[(a+c)(b^2 −(a−c)^2 ]=b^2 −(a−c)^2 a+c = 2b ∴ a, b and c are in A.P..](Q16356.png)
