The average of two numbers, a and b, can be written as the average of x over the interval [a, b]. This is easily verified as follows. The average is the arithemtic mean. We can represent other means as above if we generalize the pattern to be For the arithmetic mean, φ(x)

Let An, Gn and Hn be the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean of a set of n numbers. When n = 2, the arithmetic mean times the harmonic mean is the geometric mean squared. The proof is simple: When n > 2 we no longer have equality. However,
