Question

Determine the geometric mean of each pair of numbers. If necessary, give anwser in simplest radical form. A. 3 and 17 b. 5 and 45

Answer 1

A sqrt(51)

B 15

Explanation:

To find the geometric mean. we multiply the two numbers and then take the square root

A sqrt(3*17)

sqrt(51)

B sqrt(5*45)

sqrt(5*5*9)

sqrt(25) sqrt(9)

5*3
