What is the 6th term of this geometric sequence? 5, 15, 45, 135
Hello,
\(u_{1}=5\\
u_{2}=15=5*3\\
u_{3}=45=5*3^2\\
u_{4}=135=5*3^3\\
\boxed{u_{n}=5*3^{n-1}}\\\\
u_{6}=5*3^5=1215\\\)
The 6th term of this geometric sequence is 1215.
To understand more, check below explanation.
The general term of geometric series is given as;
\(a_{n}=a*r^{n-1}\)
Where a is first term and r is common ratio.
Given sequence is,
5, 15, 45, 135
So that, \(a=5,r=15/5=3\)
We have to find 6th term,
\(a_{6}=5*3^{6-1} \\\\a_{6}=5*3^{5} \\\\a_{6}=5*243=1215\)
Therefore, the 6th term of this geometric sequence is 1215.
