Hi,
sequence: 1/6,1,6,36
Note: Writing an explicit formula for a geometric sequence always requires
knowing the first term and the common ratio.
In this sequence the common ratio is 6.

-----
Find the pattern for the nth term:
1---1/6
2---(1/6)*6
3---(1/6)*6^2
4---(1/6)*6^3
----
----
n---(1/6)*6^(n-1)
------
Explicit Formula: a(n) = (1/6)*6^(n-1) or 6^(n-2)
