One is arithmetic (you should think adding). The other is geometric (which usually implies multiplying). So, we need to multiply 275 * 11 = 3025.  Now since we have 2 terms, we need to take the square root.  <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=sqrt%283025%29+=+highlight%2855%29 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"sqrt%283025%29+=+highlight%2855%29\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > Just to concrete the concept:\r<BR>\n" );
