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 sqrt%28ab%29

If we are looking for negative geometric mean -sqrt+%28ab%29


find the geometric mean between the numbers: 3 and 24
Geometric Mean = sqrt%28ab%29
= sqrt%283%2A24%29
= sqrt%2872%29
= sqrt%2836%2A2%29
= 6sqrt%282%29
