Homework Statement
If a,b,c are real numbers satisfying the equation [itex]25(9a^2+b^2)+9c^2-15(5ab+bc+3ca)=0[/itex], then prove that a,b,c are in A.P.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Rearranging the question I can say that I have to prove this
2b=a+c
I tried simplifying the terms and I arrived at this
[itex](15a+5b+3c)^2=45(5ab+bc+3ac)[/itex]
Any ideas how should I proceed?
