View source for Root-mean power

__TOC__

A root mean power can be expressed as <cmath>\sqrt[n]{\frac{x_1^n+\cdots+x_a^n}{a}}</cmath> where <math>n</math> is the root mean power and the mean is bigger when <math>n</math> is bigger. As <math>n</math> reaches <math>-\infty</math>, the mean reaches the lowest number. As <math>n</math> reaches <math>\infty</math>, the mean reaches the highest number. Examples and their powers: Cubic Mean: 3, Quadratic Mean: 2, Arithmetic Mean: 1, Geometric Mean: 0 (theoretical, can't be solved using radicals), Harmonic Mean: -1
