...extremes is equal to the product of the means ; and any pair of equidistant means may be esteemed the middle terms. COROLLARIES. 1. Hence, to an extreme...extreme. Thus to 4 : 8 : 16, the fourth proportional ia 32; for 8X16=128, and 4)128(32; so 4 : 8 : 16 : 32. And this takes place though the proportion be... | |
