Find the geometric means of the following pairs of numbers :i. 2 and 8ii. a3b and ab3iii. –8 and –2

Answer»

(i) GM = √ab

Let a = 2 and b = 8

GM = √2×8

= √16

= 4.

(ii) GM = √xy

Let x = a3b and y = ab3

GM = √a3b × ab3

= √a4b4

= a2b2.

(iii) GM = √ab

Let a = –2 and b = –8

GM = √–2×–8

= √–16

[we know that √–1 = i(iota)]

= 4i.
