Page 215 - Or, four terms are in harmonical proportion, when the first is to the fourth as the difference of the first and second is to the difference of the third and fourth.
Page 375 - A, B, C, D, E play together on this condition, that he who loses shall give to all the rest as much as they already have. First A loses, then B, then C, then D, and at last also E. All lose in turn, and yet at the end of the 5th game they all have the same sum, viz. each $32. How much had each when they began to play ? Ans.
Page 209 - The first term, the last term (or the extremes) and the ratio given, to find the sum of the series. RULE. Multiply the last term by the ratio, and from the product subtract the first term ; then divide the remainder by the ratio, less by 1, and the quotient will be the sum of all the terms.
Page 173 - ... proportion, the sum of the extremes is equal to the sum of the means. Thus...
