Question 1:   Express the term of a geometric progression a 18 through its another term a 12 and its common ratio r .
a 18 = a 12 +6r
a 18 = a 12 × r 6
a 18 = a 12 ×6r
a 18 = a 12 r 6
Question 2:   ( a n ) is a geometric sequence. Put the sign between these two expressions: a 4 × a 21 ?  a 8 × a 17 .
a 4 × a 21 <  a 8 × a 17
a 4 × a 21 =  a 8 × a 17
a 4 × a 21 >  a 8 × a 17
a 4 × a 21   a 8 × a 17
