(8.5*12.4)^(1/2)=10.266
In general the geometric mean is (ab)^(1/2), (abc)^(1/3), (abcd)^(1/4), etc
The nth root of the product of n elements.
The smallest is 6
Three consecutive integers
X. Smallest 6
X+1. 7
X+2. Largest 8
X(X+1)= 4(X+2)+10
X^2+X= 4x+8+10
X^2+X-4x-18=0
X^2-3x-18=0
( X+3)(X-6)
X=-3. X=6
Don't use the negative
Check 6(7)= 4(8)+10
42=42
