3, 6, 12, 24, 48… nth term is 3 x 2n-1

6, 12, 24, 48… nth term is 6 x 2n-1


Note: 6 x 2n-1 = 3 x 21 x 2n-1 = 3 x 2n

You need to check if the common ratio goes into the starting
number so that you can make your nth term look simpler

Now try to find the nth term of these sequences:


6, 30, 150, 750... 2, 6, 18, 54, 162...
