\[a_{14} = 24 \Longrightarrow a_{14} = b_{1}q^{13}\]
\[a_{16} = 54 \Longrightarrow a_{16} = b_{1}q^{15}\]
\[a_{15} = b_{1}q^{14}\]
\[a_{14} \cdot a_{16} = b_{1}q^{13} \cdot b_{1}q^{15} =\]
\[= b_{1}^{2} \cdot q^{28} = \left( b_{1}q^{14} \right)^{2} = \left( a_{15} \right)^{2}\]
\[\left( a_{15} \right)^{2} = 24 \cdot 54 = 1296 \Longrightarrow\]
\[\Longrightarrow a_{15} = 36\ \ или\ \ a_{15} = - 36.\]
\[Ответ:\ - 36\ \ или\ \ 36.\]
