Three numbers form a geometric sequence where T(3) = 12. If T(3) is changed to 9 , these three numbers form an arithmetic sequence. Find these numbers.

For geometric sequence:

12 = T(2) x R
T(2) = T(1) x R

so, 12 = [T(2) ^ 2] / T(1)

For arithmetic sequence:

9 = T(2) + X
T(2) = T(1) + X

so, 9 = 2 x T(2) - T(1)


By substituting T(1),

[T(2) ^ 2] - 24 x T(2) + 108 = 0

by solving the above quadratic equation, we get

[T(2) - 6] x [T(2) - 18] = 0


As a result, T(1) = [T(2) ^ 2] / 12 = 3 and T(2) = 6
