The 4th term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 3 and the common ratio is 2 is 24.
Suppose the initial term of a geometric sequence is a
and the term by which we multiply the previous term to get the next term is r then the sequence would look like
a, ar, ar², ar³,...., arⁿ
Thus, the nth term of such sequence would be aₙ = a₁ × r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ (you can easily predict this formula, as for the nth term, the multiple r would've multiplied with initial terms n-1 times).
Given the first term of the sequence is 3, while the common ratio is 2, therefore, the fourth term of the geometric sequence can be written as,
aₙ = a₁ × r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
a₄ = 3 × 2⁽⁴⁻¹⁾
a₄ = 3 × 2³
a₄ = 24
Hence, the 4th term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 3 and the common ratio is 2 is 24.
