1. Definitely geometric....the common ratio is 2
We can see this because
12/ 6 = 24 / 12 = 48/ 24 = 2 {the ratio of each successive term to the prior one is the same }
2. Fifth term of the geometric sequence.....the common ratio is 3
So...the fith term is just..... 5 * (3)5-1 = 5 * 34 = 5 * 81 = 405
