For Geometric Progression

#1 = a = 5

#2 = ar = x

#3 = ar^2 = y

#4 = ar^3 = 40

We need to find 'r'

To do this ,divide #4 by #1 , hence

ar^3 / a = 40 / 5

Hence r^3 = 8 (Notice the 'a' cancels down to leave 'r^3'

Cube root both sides

Hence r = 2

When r = 2

#2 = ar = 5 X 2 = 10 = x

#3 = ar%2 - 5 x 2^2 = 5 x 4 = 20 = y

So the geometric progression is 5,x,y,40 = 5,10,20,40

What is the geometric mean of 45 and 5?

First you have to set up a proprtion. 45 over x equals x over 5. Then you get x squared equals 225(45*5). Finally you have to find the square root of 225 which is 15.
