"what is the sixth term when the first term is 4 and the common ratio is 3? " how do i write a rule and find the given term for this

  a6 = 972

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the generic rule and fill in the values you are given:

  an = a1·r^(n-1) . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

You are told a1 = 4, r = 3, so your rule is ...

  an = 4·3^(n-1)

To find the 6th term, evaluate this expression for n=6.

  a6 = 4·3^(6-1) = 4·243 = 972

Or, you can simply start with the given first term and calculate each term by multiplying the previous one by 3.

  4, 12, 36, 108, 324, 972, ...
