Answer 5

R is the ratio between those numbers. Take one number and divide it by the previous number to get the "r" value.

Answer 6

In other words: The first 2 terms of your sequence are 6, -18.
To obtain the 2nd from the 1st, you would have to multiply the first by what number?

Lovely: a1234 and I are basically asking you to do the same thing. Mind venturing a guess?

Answer 10

Answer 12

Ask yourself: If we take the first term of the sequence (6) and multiply it by your 54, will you get -18?

(6)(54) = -18 ??

Answer 13

Very sorry; I have to get off the internet. Divide -18 by 6; the result will be the correct r.
