All are correct except #2 and #3
#2:
a+-12, r = -1/3)
so it has to be D, I don't understand why you would choose C, the exponent does not follow the formula.
#3:
the sequence would be 5, 5r, 5r^2, 5r^3, 5r^4, 1215
so from the last 3 terms:
1215/5r^4 = 5r^4/5r^3
.
.
.
r^5=243
r=+3
so the terms in between would be 15, 45, 135, and 450 which is B
#2:
a+-12, r = -1/3)
so it has to be D, I don't understand why you would choose C, the exponent does not follow the formula.
#3:
