For $n>3$,
$a_{n}$ is arithmetic mean of $a_1$ through $a_{n-1}$
$b_{n}$ is geometric mean of $b_1$ through $b_{n-1}$
For $i=1,2,3$,
${{a}_{i}}$ = ${{b}_{i}}$
If $a_{1} = 3$, $a_{2017} = 7$, $a_{2018}=8$,
then
$$a_{2}^{2}+a_{3}^{2} = text{?}$$
What is the use of $b$ here? Where is it going to be used in solution?

See $2a_3=a_1+a_2$ and $b_3=sqrt{a_1a_2}$ .

See $2a_3=a_1+a_2$, $a_2=a_1$ and $b_3=sqrt{a_1a_2}$. We get $a_2^2+a_3^2=18$.
