Given three integers A, B and N the task is to find N Geometric means between A and B. WE basically need to insert N terms in a Geometric progression. where A and B are first and last terms. 
Examples: 
 

Input :  A = 2  B = 32  N = 3
Output : 4 8 16
the geometric progression series as 2,
4, 8, 16 , 32
       
Input : A = 3 B = 81 N = 2
Output : 9 27

 

Approach : 
Let A1, G2, G3, G4……Gn be N geometric Means between two given numbers A and B . Then A, G1, G2 ….. Gn, B will be in Geometric Progression . 
So B = (N+2)th term of the Geometric progression.
Then Here R is the common ratio 
B = A*RN+1 
RN+1 = B/A 
R = (B/A)1/(N+1)
Now we have the value of R 
And also we have the value of the first term A 
G1 = AR1 = A * (B/A)1/(N+1) 
G2 = AR2 = A * (B/A)2/(N+1) 
G3 = AR3 = A * (B/A)3/(N+1) 



GN = ARN = A * (B/A)N/(N+1)
 

C++




// C++ program to find n geometric means
// between A and B
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Prints N geometric means between
// A and B.
void printGMeans(int A, int B, int N)
{
    // calculate common ratio(R)
    float R = (float)pow(float(B / A),
                  1.0 / (float)(N + 1));
     
    // for finding N the Geometric
    // mean between A and B
    for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++)
        cout << A * pow(R, i) <<" ";   
}

    return 0;

</script>


Output : 
 

9 27 

Time Complexity : O(N*log(N)) ,in worst case power function takes log(N) time.

Space Complexity : O(1), since no extra space has been taken.
