what is the equation to find geometric mean

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Suppose you have two no.s x and y The geometric mean GM is given by \[GM=\sqrt{x\times y}\]

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

ok so how would i solve that?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Suppose I have two no.s 2 and 8. I want to find the GM Using the formula \[\sqrt{2 \times 8}=\sqrt{16}=??\] can you find the square root?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

4

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Right :) So 4 is the geometric mean of 2 and 8

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Do you understand this?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

ohh i think i understand it :)

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Cool !

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

can we do another just to make sure i understand

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yeah sure. This time you try, find the geometric mean of 3 and 27

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

\[GM=\sqrt{3*27}\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Good, solve it further

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

\[\sqrt{81}=9\]

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

GM=9

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Good work indeed :)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

thank you :) for your help @ash2326

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Welcome :D

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Thanks for the nice testimonial. :)
