    To find any term

    of a geometric sequence:

    where a1 is the first term of the sequence,

    r is the common ratio, n is the number of the term to find.

    a5 = a1 * r^4;

    36 = a1 * (1/3) ^4;

    a1 = 36 * 81;

    a1 = 2916;

    a10 = a1 * r^9;

    a10 = 2916 * (1/3) ^9;

    a10 = 2916/13122;

    a10 = 36/243;

    Finally, a10 = 4/27;
