Answer:
1572864
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of a geoemtric series can be calculated using the following rule : [tex]a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1[/tex]
where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position.
here, the first term is 6, the common ratio is 4 and the term position is 10 ( because we want to find the 10th term )
so a1 = 6 , r = 4 and n = 10
using these values we plug them into the rule
recall rule : [tex]a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1[/tex]
==> plug in a1 = 6 , r = 4 and n - 10
[tex]a_1_0=6(4)^1^0^-^1[/tex]
==> subtract 10 and 1
[tex]a_1_0=6(4)^9[/tex]
==> simplify exponent
[tex]a_1_0=6(262144)[/tex]
==> simplify multiplication
[tex]a_1_0=1572864[/tex]
and we are done!
Note:
the common ration was found by dividing the first term by the next term
