The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product:

So, if the product is 8, the geometric mean is 
This is your answer (x-a).g(a)
Function B
the slope is actually consistent unlike function a, also if u graphed it out it’s function b
That’s the answer with steps
It is important to do the
calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this
problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So
55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future
you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from
outside.This is the simplest way of solving such
problems.
