Q. Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 2,6,18,…Answer: an=
Identify Geometric Sequence: The given sequence is 2,6,18,… which appears to be a geometric sequence where each term is multiplied by a common ratio to get the next term. To find the common ratio, divide the second term by the first term.Common ratio (r)=26=3
Calculate Common Ratio: The first term of the sequence a1 is 2. The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula an=a1⋅r(n−1), where r is the common ratio and n is the term number.
Find nth Term Formula: Substitute the known values into the formula to get the nth term. an=2×3(n−1)
