Answer

The 13th term of the geometric sequence is 1,464,843,750

Step-by-step explanation

Given the following sequence

6, - 30, 150

Step 1: find the common ratio

Common ratio = -30/6 = -5

150/-30 = -5

Therefore, common ratio is -5

The nth term of a geometric progression is

A(n) = a*r^n-1

Where a = first term, r = common ratio and n = number of terms

a = 6

r = -5

n = 13

a(13) = 6 * (-5)^13 -1

a(13) = 6 x (-5)^12

a(13) = 6 x (244,140,625)

a(13) = 1,464,843,750

Therefore, the 13th term of the geometric sequence is 1,464,843,750
