 | | Sometimes they may ask for two mean proportionals between a pair of numbers, and that is a lot tougher to work all the way through. |
 | | But there is an easier way, and it will work for any number of "mean proportionals." If we look at the sequence of numbers in a mean proportional, we (sooner or later) notice a pattern. |
 | | Here are the two we have used so far: 4, 6, 9 and: 3, 6, 12, 24 The second pattern is easier to see. |
