Answer:

y =  \frac{3}{4} x \:  \: and \:  \: y =  -  \frac{3}{4} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given hyperbola has equation:

\frac{ {x}^{2} }{16}  -   \frac{ {y}^{2} }{9}  = 1

The equations of asymptotes of the hyperbola.

\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} }  -  \frac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} }  = 1

is

y =  \pm \:  \frac{b}{a} x

Comparing the given equation to the standard equation of the hyperbola we have:

\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {4}^{2} }  -  \frac{ {y}^{2} }{ {3}^{2} }  = 1

This implies that:

a=4 and b=3

The asymptote equations are:

y =  \pm \frac{3}{4}x

Or

y =  \frac{3}{4} x \:  \: and \:  \: y =  -  \frac{3}{4} x

The geometric mean of the numbers is 5.38

Given the values a, b, c and d

Geometric mean of the values will be expressed as:

GM = (abcd)^1/4

Given the values 4, 5, 6 and 7, the geometric mean will be expressed as:

GM = (4×5×6×7)^1/4

GM = (840)^1/4

GM = 5.38

Hence the geometric mean of the numbers is 5.38.
