Find the 4th Term 1 , 6 , 36

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by ${\displaystyle 6}$ gives the next term. In other words, ${\displaystyle a_n=a_1{r}^{n-1}}$.

This is the form of a geometric sequence.

Substitute in the values of ${\displaystyle a_1=1}$ and ${\displaystyle r=6}$.

Multiply ${\displaystyle 6^{n-1}}$ by ${\displaystyle 1}$.

Substitute in the value of ${\displaystyle n}$ to find the ${\displaystyle n}$th term.

Subtract ${\displaystyle 1}$ from ${\displaystyle 4}$.
