The Geometric Mean between any two positive numbers a and b is the square root of their product.

If we are looking for positive geometric mean

If we are looking for negative geometric mean

find the other extreme: ratical 12 is the gepmetric mean between a and b. Find b if a = 3.
Geometric Mean =

Checking:
Geometric Mean = , GM = 12, a = 3, b = 48

12=12 ---> True
