The 9th term of the geometric sequence 6, 24, 96, ... is 393216

What is Sequence?

A sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters.

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the preceding term by the same value.

The given sequence 6, 24, 96, ...

six, twenty four, ninety six

a is first term=6

r is common ratio = 24/6=4

The nth term of Geometric sequence aₙ=a.rⁿ⁻¹

9th term a₉=6(4)⁸

=6(65536)

=393216

Hence, the 9th term of the geometric sequence 6, 24, 96, ... is 393216
