Question

Find the geometric mean between 5 and 8?

Answer 1

geometric means simple enough. for 2 numbers, the geoMean is the square root of their product

Answer 2

\[geoMean(a,b)=\sqrt{ab}\]

Answer 3

6.3?

Answer 4

are they asking you to round it?

Answer 5

nope

Answer 6

\[\sqrt{5*4*2}\]
\[\sqrt{4*10}\]
\[\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10}\]
\[2\sqrt{10}\]

Answer 7

so im wrong?

Answer 8

6.3 is a rational value; 2sqrt(10) is an irrational value

since they do not equate to each other, and you are not asked to round anything; then your 6.3 is wrong

Answer 9

then how whats the right anwer, or how do i solve it?
