Answer: 2125764

Step-by-step explanation: The geometric sequence "formula" states that to find any term in the sequence, the shown formula must be used:


a_(n) = a_(1)r^(n-1)

Where r is the common ratio between each term. In this case, 3. If we want to find the 13th term, 13-1 = 12, 3^12 = 531441, and 531441*4 = 2125764.
