Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

a1 = 6

and r = 3

Then;

Let's see, we have a1 "first term" and r "common ratio". So, firstly use the formula.


nth \: term \: of \: geometric \: sries = {a}^{} . {r}^(n - 1)

Now, keep all values.


nth = 6 * {3}^(n - 1)

So, it becomes like this.

Therefore, the rule is nth= 6*3^n-1.

Hope it helps!
