what's the geometric mean of 7 and 9.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

To find the geometric mean of two numbers you... step 1) multiply the two numbers step 2) take the square root of the result in step 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

geometric mean between a and b is sqrt(ab)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

7*9 doesn't equal 56, but you have the right idea

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and the correct final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 My bad.\[M=\sqrt{a*b}\]\[M=\sqrt{7*9}\]\[M=\sqrt{63}=3\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

geometric mean is \[b=\sqrt{ac}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Geometric mean is:\[m=\sqrt[n]{\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n}x_i}\]In this case\[x_1=7~and~x_2=9,~n=2\]
