Answer:

Explanation:

The arithmetic mean of 18 and 128 is (18+128)/2 = 73.

The geometric mean of 18 and 128 is the square root of their product: √(18*128) = √(2304) = 48.

So, the difference between the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean is:

48 - 73 = -25.

Therefore, the difference of the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean of 18 and 128 is -25.

If -ve root of G is taken then
G = -48
and diff of G and A will be -48 - 73 = -121
