Let \(\left(M_{1},M_{2},M_{3}\right) \) be three means in two variables chosen from \(H\), \(G\), \(L\), \(I\), \(A\), \(Q\), \(S\), \(C\) so that \[ M_{1}(a,b)<M_{2}(a,b)<M_{3}(a,b),\quad 0<a<b. \] We consider the problem of finding \(\alpha,\ \beta\in\mathbb{R}\) for which \[ \alpha M_{1}(a,b)+(1-\alpha)M_{3}(a,b)<M_{2}(a,b)<\beta M_{1}(a,b)+(1-\beta )M_{3}(a,b). \] We solve the problem for the triplets \(\left(G,L,A\right)\), \(\left(G,A,Q\right)\), \(\left(G,A,C\right)\), \(\left(G,Q,C\right)\), \(\left(A,Q,C\right) \), \(\left(A,S,C\right) \), \(\left(A,Q,S\right) \) and \((L,A,C)\). The Symbolic Algebra Program Maple is used to determine the range where some parameters can vary, or to find the minimal polynomial for an algebraic number.Downloads
