What is the (5)th term of the geometric progression (3,12,48,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 768

The first term is \(a=3\) and the common ratio is \(r=\frac{12}{3}=4\). The nth term of a GP is \(a_n=ar^{n-1}\). Therefore, \(a_5=3\times4^{5-1}=3\times4^4=768\). Option 384 is a close distractor, but it equals \(3\times4^3\), which is the fourth term. Exam tip: in the nth-term formula, the exponent is always \(n-1\).
