The numbers 2,4,x form a geometric progression and the sequence 3,x,y is an arithmetic progression. Determine the value of y.
Note that if three numbers x, y, z form an arithmetic progression, then y=x+z2.
Also, if three numbers a, b, c form a geometric progression, then b2=ac.
Therefore, 42=2⋅x. Solving gives x = 8.
