–1,728, –6,912, –27,648
–1,728, –10,368, –62,208
–2,592, –10,368, –41,472
–2,592, –15,552, –93,312

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. -2,592, -15,552, -93,312

Explanation:

Each of the terms is the previous term multiplied by 6. You can find this by taking any term and dividing it by the one before it. The answer will always be 6.

-72/-12 = 6

-12/-2 = 6

So, in order to find the next 3, we take the last term and multiply it by 6.

-432 * 6 = -2,592

-2,592 * 6 = -15,552

-15,552 * 6 = -93,312
