What is the geometric mean of 3 and 21?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the definition of a geometric mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the normal mean is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the geometric mean of a set of numbers, find the product of all numbers in the set and then take the nth root of the product, where n represents the number of elements in the set. For example, to find the geometric mean of {2, 4, 8}, first multiply 2, 4, and 8. The product is 64. Because there are three elements, take the cube root of 64.

ok, we have a working def :) so whats 3*21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I jsut can't seem to find the geometric mean for 63 :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (amistre64):

oh, its just the sqrt(63)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's just multiplying it I have to cube root it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no, you have to take the n-th root; n being the number of terms there are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to Cube root

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have 2 terms; which is the 2th root

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the square root of 63

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

der lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):
