Fig trees, shrubs and lianas are found in the genus Ficus, which is a part of the fig or mulberry family (Moraceae). Most of them are found in the tropical regions of the world. There are some that can live in the warmer temperate areas. Many species may turn invasive in the right location.
Geometric mean. In mathematics, the geometric mean is a type of mean or average, which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers by using the product of their values (as opposed to the arithmetic mean which uses their sum).
Lesson Summary. To review, the geometric mean is the nth root when you multiply n numbers together. It is used to calculate the average rate of growth when the growth is determined by multiplication as in the case of annual percentage growth of a bank account. The formula for geometric mean is found from its definition. You first multiply your numbers together and then you take the nth root where n is the number of numbers you multiplied together.
