Formulae

1. When two or more ratios are multiplied together, they are said to be compounded.
   
2. A ratio compounded with itself is called duplicate ratio of the given ratio.
   
3. The reciprocal ratio a : b is b : a.
4. Proportion: An equality of two ratios is called a proportion.
   
5. The quantities a, b, c and d are called the terms of the proportion; a, b, c and d are the first, second, third and fourth terms respectively. First and fourth terms are called extremes (or extreme terms). Second and third terms are called means (or middle terms).
   
   ⇒ product of extreme terms = product of middle terms.
   Thus, if the four quantities are in proportion then the product of extreme terms = product of middle terms. This is called cross product rule.
6. Fourth proportional: If a, b, c and d are in proportion then d is called the fourth proportional.
   
7. In particular, three (non-zero) quantities of the same kind, a, b and c are said to be in continued proportion iff the ratio of a to b is equal to the ratio of b to c.
   
   
8. First proportional: If a, b are c are in continued proportion, then a is called the first proportional.
   Third proportional: If a, b and c are in continued proportion, then c is called the third proportional.
   Mean proportional: If a, b and c are in continued proportion, then b is called the mean proportional of a and c.
   Thus, if b is the mean proportional of a and c, then
   
   Hence, the mean proportion between two numbers is the positive square root of their product.
