Answer:

The geometric mean of 6 and 16 = 4\sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Geometric Mean is basically a special type of average which can be determined

  • by multiply the numbers together and subsequently taking a square root in case there are two numbers; but we take cube root in case there three numbers etc.

So, lets take the geometric mean of 6 and 16

Considering the number

6 and 16

  • Step 1: Multiply the numbers i.e.  6 × 16 = 96

Step 2: As there are two number, so just take the square root i.e. \sqrt{96} =4\sqrt{6}

In other words:

Geometric Mean of 6 and 16:

                                                  \sqrt{6\times16}

                                                  =\sqrt{96}                                        

  \mathrm{Prime\:factorization\:of\:}96:\quad 2^5\cdot \:3

                                                  =\sqrt{2^5\cdot \:3}

                                                  =\sqrt{2^4\cdot \:2\cdot \:3}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b},\:\quad \:a\ge 0,\:b\ge 0

                                                   =\sqrt{2^4}\sqrt{2\cdot \:3}

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^{\frac{m}{n}}      

                                                    =2^{\frac{4}{2}}\sqrt{2\cdot \:3}

                                                    =2^2\sqrt{2\cdot \:3}

                                                     =4\sqrt{6}

Therefore, the geometric mean of 6 and 16 = 4\sqrt{6}

Find the distance between the given points A(–16, –15) and D(–2, –18)
Aliun [14]

Answer:

\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow \sqrt{205}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>TO FIND:</u></h3>

The distance between the give points of (-16, -15) and (-2, -18).

<h3><u>SOLUTIONS:</u></h3>

First, use slope formula.

<u><em>SLOPE FORMULA:</em></u>

\Rightarrow \displaystyle \mathsf{\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1} }}

\Rightarrow \displaystyle \mathsf{\sqrt{(X_2-X_1)^2+(Y_2-Y_1)^2}}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{\sqrt{\left(-2-\left(-16\right)\right)^2+\left(-18-\left(-15\right)\right)^2}}}

Solve.

\displaystyle \mathsf{\sqrt{\left(-2+16\right)^2+\left(-18+15\right)^2}}}

Add & subtract the numbers from left to right.

\displaystyle \mathsf{(-2+16)^2}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{-2+16=14}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{14^2}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{(-18+15)^2}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{-18+15=3}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{=3^2}}

\displaystyle \mathsf{\sqrt{14^2+3^2}}}

Solve by exponent.

14²=14*14=196

√196+3²

3²=3*3=9

√196+9

Add.

√196+9=205

√205

\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow \sqrt{205}}}}

So, the correct answer is √205.
