Explicit form of a geometric sequence

The explicit form of a geometric sequence is expressed according to the equation;

Tn = ar^n-1

where

r is the common ratio

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

Given the sequence below;

6x,18x^4,54x^7

r = 18x^4/6x

r = 3x^3

a = 6x

n = 8

Substitute to have:

T8 = 6x(3x^3)^8-1

T8 = 6x (3x^3)^7

T8 = 13122x^22

Hence the 8th term of the geometric sequence is 13122x^22
