1: Để ba số này lập thành 1 cấp số nhân thì
\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}\left(x+4\right)^2=\left(4x+8\right)\left(x+2\right)\\\left(x+2\right)^2=\left(x+4\right)\left(4x+8\right)\\\left(4x+8\right)^2=\left(x+2\right)\left(x+4\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)

Để đây là 1 cấp số nhân thì
\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}1^2=5\left(2x+4\right)\\5^2=1\cdot\left(2x+4\right)\\\left(2x+4\right)^2=1\cdot5\end{matrix}\right.\)
=>\(\left[{}\begin{matrix}10x+20=1\\2x+4=25\\\left(2x+4\right)^2=5\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=-\dfrac{19}{10}\\x=\dfrac{21}{2}\\2x+4=\pm\sqrt{5}\end{matrix}\right.\)
=>\(x\in\left\{-\dfrac{19}{10};\dfrac{21}{2};\dfrac{\sqrt{5}-4}{2};\dfrac{-\sqrt{5}-4}{2}\right\}\)
