What is the geometric mean between 1 and 16?

-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

Use proportions for all of them, for #1 use the proportion 12/30 = 9/a based on corresponding sides and then cross multiply. a=22.5 For #2 use the proportion y/35 = 64/40 based on corresponding sides and then cross multiply, y=56 For #3 use the proportion 42/? = 54/36 and then cross multiply, ?=28
