-4 is also a geometric mean

if we consider a(first element in series)=1 and r(common ratio)=-4 then the series would be

1,-4,16,-64,256,…..,a(-4)^(n-1 )

where n is nth term

from this -4 would be the geometric mean if we consider -4 as common ratio .

If we consider 4 as common ratio then geometric mean should be 4

so you should mention whether common ratio >0 or not (r>0 or not) .

[without ‘r’ value you can’t solve the question but in general most of the teachers will consider r>0.]

So, -4 won’t be geometric mean of 1 & 16

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is \sqrt{ab} , so

geometric mean of 1 and 16 is

\sqrt{1(16)} = \sqrt{16} = 4

Answer:

m=4\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation to this is

y=4\frac{1}{3}x

and slop-intercept form is

y=mx+b

with m being the slope,

so,

m=4\frac{1}{3}

Factor the GCF: −12x4y − 9x3y2 + 3x2y3
monitta
Factor the coefficients:
-12=(-1)(3)(2^2)
-9=(-1)(3^2)
3=3

The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3

Next we find the GCF for the variable x.
x^4
x^3
x^2
The GCF is x^2.

Next GCF for variable y.
y
y^2
y^3
the GCF is y

Therefore the GCF is 3x^2y
To factor this out, we need to divide each term by the GCF,
(3x^2y)(−12x4y/(3x^2y) − 9x3y2/(3x^2y) + 3x2y3/(3x^2y) )
=(3x^2y)(-4x^2-3xy+y^2)     
if we wish, we can factor further:
(3x^2y)(y-4x)(x+y)
