The turtle population will be 486 after 5 years.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The general form of a geometric progression or geometric sequence is a, ar, ar², ar³ and so on.

where,

  • a = first term
  • r = common ratio

<u>The formula to find the nth term in GP is :</u>

nth term = ar^{n-1}

The given sequence 6,18,54.

In this sequence,

  • The first term, a = 6
  • The common ratio, r = 18/6 = 3

5th term = 6\times3^{5-1}

⇒ 6\times3^{4}

⇒ 6\times81

⇒ 486

Therefore, after 5 years the population will be 486.
