Find the sixth term of the geometric sequence
9, 18, 36, ...

This is a geometric sequence because any term divided by the previous term is a constant called the common ratio. r=36/18=18/9=2 A geometric sequence is expressed as

\begin{gathered}a_n=ar^{n-1},\text{ where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number}\\ \\ a_n=9(2^{n-1})\\ \\ a_6=9(2^5)\\ \\ a_6=288\end{gathered}an=arn−1, where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term numberan=9(2n−1)a6=9(25)a6=288

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14
