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 a1=2,a5=2592a_1 = 2, a_5 = 2592\\
Furthermore, they told you that it's a geometric sequence which means a1rn1=ana_1\cdot r^{n-1} = a_n.
From here you can solve for rr and subsequently, use that to find the other nn-th terms.
Hope this helps :)
