    A (n) = a (1) * r^ (n-1)

    a (n) = 3*2^ (n-1)

    Hope I don't mess up for your sake.

    1st term = a₁ = 3, r=2

    1st a₁ = 3 x 2⁰

    2nd a₂ = 3 x 2¹

    3rd a₃ = 3 x 2²

    4th a₄ = 3 x 2³

    5th a₅ = 3 x 2⁴

    ...

    ...

    nth : a (n) = 3 x 2 (ⁿ-¹)

    Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1
