(a) Recall that √√r> 0 for every positive real number r. Prove that if a and b are positive real numbers, then 0 <√ab atb. (The number √ab is called the geometric mean of a and b, while (a + b)/2 is ≤ called the arithmetic mean or average of a and b.) (b) Under what conditions does √ab = (a + b)/2 for positive real numbers a and b? Justify your answer.

You forgot to solve the other question. The other question is 'Restate definition 4 in your own words as you understand it.'
In 2004 it surfaced in Reader's Digest presented as having happened to a teacher at an unnamed community college. Four students walked in halfway through American history test my father was giving at the local community college. "Sorry," they said, "we had a flat tire." An understanding man, Dad said that if they could answer just one question correctly, he would give them each an "A" for the exam. The students agreed. So my father handed each one a piece of paper, placed them in four separate comers and said, "Write down which tire was flat." Kurt Smith What is the probability that these four students would give identical answers if they hadn't had a flat tire? Why?
can you please explain further what is being said I do not understand
but the answer in the book said test doesn't apply?
Is this the solution to the question posted or this is an error ?
am I missing something, but there does not seem to be whole answer here.
Can you explain a bit more, I'm confused what the final answer is...
I don't believe this answer is correct. Wouldn't it be "not enough information given to determine"? $12 is not the answer to this question.
I just realize I could follow the question. It seems like not right . Could you check it for me?
sorry I should of been clear, I need letter B to be worked out.
what is the final answer to this question
