Hey there!

As we can see, our common ratio is 6- as we're multiplying by 6 for every term.

To find the nth term, we use the explicit formula rather than the recursive. The explicit is defined as:

an = a(sub)1 * r^n-1

For the a1, we substitute the first term, and for r we substitute 6.

an = 1/6 * 6^n-1

Hope this helps!
