We've been given to find out the 11th term of a geometric sequence 1,4,16,64...

Here we have,

  • First term (a) = 1

  • Common ratio (r) = 4/1 = 4

  • n = 11

The standard formula for calculating the geometric sequence is given by,


:\implies\rm{ {n}^(th) \: term = {ar}^(n - 1) }

Substituting values we get,


:\implies\rm{ {11}^(th) = 1 * {4}^(11 - 1) }


:\implies\rm{ {11}^(th) = {4}^(11 - 1) }


:\implies\rm{ {11}^(th) = {4}^(10) }


:\implies\rm{ {11}^(th) \: term = 1048576}

  • The 11th term of G.P. is 4¹.

Answer:

Explanation:

First term = a = 1

common ratio = r = second term ÷ first term = 4 ÷ 1 = 4

nth term =
ar^(n-1)

11th terms =
1*4^(10) = 4^(10)
