Answer:


Explanation:

Given a geometric sequence.

2, 6, 18, 54, …

We have to find the I and nth term.

A geometric sequence. is one where each term is multiplied by a constant value to get the next term.

In our sequence, we find the pattern as each term is multiplied by 3 to get successive terms.

Hence common ratio r = 3

First term = a = 2

For Geometric sequence nth term = a_n = ar^(n-1)

Hence we get a_1 = 2

and a_n = 2(3)^(n-1)

By substituting for n any natural number we can get that term.
