Question

Find the geometric means of the following pairs of number:

a3b and ab3

Advertisements

Solution

\[\text {  Let the G . M . between }a^3 \text { b and a } b^3 \text { be G } . \]

\[\text { Then,} a^3 \text { b, G and } a b^3 \text { are in G . P } . \]

\[ \therefore G^2 = a^3 b \times a b^3 \]

\[ \Rightarrow G^2 = a^4 b^4 \]

\[ \Rightarrow G = \sqrt{a^4 b^4}\]

\[ \Rightarrow G = a^2 b^2\]
