In a geometric sequence of 2, _, _, _, 2592, how do I find the 3 missing values, and what are they?

Hello hlep. Let's begin with the definition of a geometric sequence. Do you know what it is?

Please follow the forum's posting guidelines and post what you've tried or your thoughts about this exercise, so that tutors may understand where to begin helping. Thank you! ?

You are given [imath]a_1 = 2, a_5 = 2592\\[/imath]
Furthermore, they told you that it's a geometric sequence which means [imath]a_1\cdot r^{n-1} = a_n[/imath].
From here you can solve for [imath]r[/imath] and subsequently, use that to find the other [imath]n[/imath]-th terms.
Hope this helps :)
