Answer: D The denominator
Step-by-step explanation: The denominator is always the bottom of your fraction.
The sequence is geometric, so

for some constant r. From this rule, it follows that

and we can determine the first term to be

Now, by substitution we have

and so on down to (D)

(notice how the exponent on r and the subscript on a add up to n)
The answer is 14/3 or 4 and 2 thirds
