Given,

log (a+b2)=12(log a+log b)log (a+b2)=12log ablog (a+b2)=log ab12(a+b2)=ab1212(a+b)=ab.\Rightarrow \log \space \Big(\dfrac{a + b}{2}\Big) = \dfrac{1}{2} (\log \space a + \log \space b) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \log \space \Big(\dfrac{a + b}{2}\Big) = \dfrac{1}{2} \log \space ab \\[1em] \Rightarrow \log \space \Big(\dfrac{a + b}{2}\Big) = \log \space {ab} ^{\dfrac{1}{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{a + b}{2}\Big) = {ab} ^{\dfrac{1}{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} (a + b) = \sqrt{ab}.

Hence, proved that 12(a+b)=ab\dfrac{1}{2} (a + b) = \sqrt{ab}.
