The correct Answer is:
To find the 6th term of the sequence 2, 4, 8, ..., we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first term (a)**: The first term of the sequence is given as: \[ a = 2 \] 2. **Determine the common ratio (r)**: To find the common ratio, we can divide the second term by the first term: \[ r = \frac{t_2}{t_1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \] We can verify this by checking the ratio of the third term to the second term: \[ r = \frac{t_3}{t_2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \] Thus, the common ratio \( r \) is confirmed to be 2. 3. **Use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence**: The nth term of a geometric sequence can be calculated using the formula: \[ t_n = a \cdot r^{n-1} \] For the 6th term (\( n = 6 \)): \[ t_6 = a \cdot r^{6-1} = 2 \cdot 2^{5} \] 4. **Calculate \( 2^5 \)**: We calculate \( 2^5 \): \[ 2^5 = 32 \] 5. **Multiply by the first term (a)**: Now we multiply this result by the first term: \[ t_6 = 2 \cdot 32 = 64 \] ### Final Answer: The 6th term of the sequence is: \[ \boxed{64} \] ---
