What is the geometric mean of the sequence 1,2,4,8 , .........., 2^n ?
Options
- A2^ n / 2
- B2^ (n+1) / 2
- C2^ (n+1) -1
- D2^ (n-1)
Correct answer
B. 2^ (n+1) / 2
Step-by-step solution
We know that geometric mean of a₁, a₂, a₃, . . . a_n is (a₁ a₂ a₃ . . . a_n )^ 1 / n =2^ n(n+1) 2 1 n =2^ n+1 2 .
