Find the geometric means of the following pairs of numbers:(i) 2 and 8(ii) a3b and ab3(iii) –8 and –2 |
|
Answer» (i) 2 and 8 GM between a and b is √ab Let a = 2 and b = 8 GM = √2 × 8 = √16 = 4 (ii) a3b and ab3 GM between a and b is √ab Let a = a3b and b = ab3 GM = √(a3b × ab3) = √a4b4 = a2b2 (iii) –8 and –2 GM between a and b is √ab Let a = –2 and b = –8 GM = √(–2 × –8) = √–16 = -4 |
