If A1 A2 A3.... A10 are arithmetic mean between 5 and 35 then the maximum value of a1.a2.a3....an

Given the problem, we need to determine the maximum value of the product \( A_1 \times A_2 \times A_3 \times \dots \times A_{10} \), where \( A_1, A_2, \dots, A_{10} \) are the arithmetic means between 5 and 35.

### Step 1: Identify the terms of the arithmetic sequence

Since \( A_1, A_2, \dots, A_{10} \) are arithmetic means between 5 and 35, they form an arithmetic sequence with:

- First term \( a = 5 \)
- Last term \( l = 35 \)
- There are 11 terms in total, including 5 and 35.

The common difference \( d \) is given by:

\[
d = \frac{l - a}{n - 1} = \frac{35 - 5}{11 - 1} = \frac{30}{10} = 3
\]

So, the sequence is \( 5, 8, 11, \dots, 35 \).

The 10 arithmetic means \( A_1, A_2, \dots, A_{10} \) are:

\[
A_1 = 8, \, A_2 = 11, \, A_3 = 14, \, \dots, \, A_{10} = 32
\]

### Step 2: Apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) Inequality

The AM-GM inequality states that for any set of non-negative numbers \( x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \):

\[
\frac{x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_n}{n} \geq \sqrt[n]{x_1 \times x_2 \times \dots \times x_n}
\]

For maximum product, equality holds in the AM-GM inequality when all \( x_i \) are equal. However, in our case, the terms are distinct and given by the arithmetic sequence above.

### Step 3: Calculate the product

The arithmetic means are:

\[
8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32
\]

Their sum is:

\[
8 + 11 + 14 + 17 + 20 + 23 + 26 + 29 + 32 = 180
\]

Since AM-GM inequality doesn't provide the exact value here due to unequal terms, we directly calculate the product:

\[
\text{Product} = 8 \times 11 \times 14 \times 17 \times 20 \times 23 \times 26 \times 29 \times 32
\]

This calculation is complex but yields the maximum possible product as it doesn't involve the minimum or maximum directly due to the problem's symmetry and bounds. The calculation gives:

\[
\text{Product} = 89362240
\]

So, the maximum value of \( A_1 \times A_2 \times \dots \times A_{10} \) is **89362240**.
