Rationals and Radicals
Description
The geometric mean is the nth root of the product of n terms. Examples include the geometric mean of 3 and 12, √(3 × 12) = 6, and the geometric mean of 3, 4, and 12, ∛(3 × 4 × 12) ≈ 5.24. Geometric mean connects multiplication and roots, commonly used in statistics, geometry, and proportional reasoning.
