Answer : Given: GP is 2, 6, 18, 54….
The given GP is of the form, a, ar, ar2, ar3…. Where r is the common ratio.
Now, nth term of GP is, an = arn – 1
First term in the given GP, a1 = a = 2 Second term in GP, a2 = 6
So, the 6th term in the GP, a6 = ar5
= 2 x 35
= 486
nth term in the GP, an = arn – 1
= 2.3n – 1
Hence, 6th term = 486 and nth term = 2.3n – 1
