Given:
The sequence is:
To find:
The explicit formula for the given sequence and then find the 16th term.
Solution:
We have,
The ratio between two consecutive terms are:
The given sequence has a common ratio. So, the given sequence is a geometric sequence with first term 6 and common ratio .
The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Putting in the above formula, we get
We need to find the 16th term. So, put in the above formula.
