multiply them,
take square root
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
geometric mean of x and y is sqrt(x* y)
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
.5*2=1
\[\sqrt{1}=1\]
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
right
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
so its 1 that was the dumbest problem ive seen yet

\(\large \frac{1}{2}\times 2\)
\(\large \frac{1}{\cancel{2}}\times \cancel{2}\)
\(\large \sqrt{1}\)
\(\large 1\)
OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
no problem is dumbest in math
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
its not really dumb
OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
cuz there will be another problem thats more dumber than this one lol... like we dont have a largest number
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
lol i just dont see why they had to make me find sqrt of 1

you got lucky today.... :P
OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
if u look at it more carefully,
geometric mean of ANY number and its reciprocal is always 1
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
yepp
OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
isnt that complex enough to ponder over and hurt our brains
OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
nope not yet
