Math Problem Statement
Solution
I see that you've uploaded an image containing several geometric mean problems. I'll solve each of them step by step.
1. Find the geometric mean between 9 and 324.
The geometric mean between two numbers and is calculated using the formula: Substituting the values: So, the geometric mean between 9 and 324 is 54.
2. What are the two geometric means between 3 and 648?
When finding two geometric means between two numbers and , we assume they form a geometric sequence: . The common ratio can be found by: Substituting the values: [ r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{648}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6 ] Now, calculate the two geometric means: So, the two geometric means are 18 and 108.
3. Find the three geometric means between 1536 and 6.
For three geometric means , we have: Substituting the values: [ r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{1536}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{256}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{2^8}} = \frac{1}{4} ] Now calculate the three geometric means: So, the three geometric means are 384, 96, and 24.
4. Give 3 geometric means between 840 and 15.
Similarly, for three geometric means: [ r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{15}{840}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{56}} \approx \sqrt[4]{0.017857} \approx 0.34 ] Now calculate: So, the three geometric means are approximately 285.6, 97.1, and 33.
5. What are the 2 geometric means between 5 and 320?
For two geometric means: [ r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{320}{5}} = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 ] Now calculate: So, the two geometric means are 20 and 80.
Would you like further details or explanations? Here are five related questions for practice:
- What is the geometric mean between 8 and 200?
- Find three geometric means between 12 and 96.
- Calculate the geometric mean between 45 and 5.
- Determine the four geometric means between 1024 and 16.
- What are the two geometric means between 7 and 448?
Tip: When finding multiple geometric means between two numbers, always remember that the numbers form a geometric sequence. The number of geometric means corresponds to the number of divisions you need to make in the ratio.
