Answer:
Median= middle number
(Example) 1, 4 ,6, 7 ,12
6 Would be the median here
so, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8,
5 Is the middle number and the median
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
second term = 18
fifth term = 144
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

Hence, we have:

Divide the expression for the fifth term by the expression for the second term:

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:
For the first one it’s subtraction property of equality
