question 72

Multiple Choice

Find a general term an for the geometric sequence.
- $$\mathrm { a } _ { 1 } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } , \mathrm { r } = 6$$

• A) \(a _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } ( n - 1 )\)
• B) \(a _ { n } = \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { n - 1 } - \frac { 5 } { 18 }\)
• C) \(a _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \cdot 6 ^ { n - 1 }\)
• D) \(a _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } - \frac { 5 } { 18 } ( n - 1 )\)
