Answer: The fiveth term is 81/4

Step-by-step explanation: The general formula for the geometric sequence is Tn=ar^n-1

Where a is the 1st term and r is the ratio.

We get the ratio by multiplying terms 2 by term 1 so the ratio is 3/2.

The general formula is Tn=4 (3/2)^n-1

To get the fiveth we have the substite 5 on n to get 81/4.
