Answer:

24,576.

Explanation:

We have been given that first term of a geometric sequence is 6 and common ratio is 4. We are asked to find the 7th term of the sequence.

We know that a geometric sequence is in form
a_n=a_1\cdot r^(n-1), where,


a_n = nth term of sequence,


a_1 = 1st term of sequence,


r = common ratio.

Upon substituting
a_1=6 and
r=4 and
n=7 in geometric sequence formula, we will get:


a_7=6\cdot(4)^(7-1)


a_7=6\cdot(4)^(6)


a_7=6\cdot 4,096


a_7=24,576

Therefore, the 7th term of the given geometric sequence would be 24,576.

To solve for the 7th term of a geometric sequence with t1 = 6 and r = 4, we use the following equation:


a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
a7 = (6) 4^(7-1)
a7 = 24576

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
