The values in a geometric sequence are calculated by multiplying the preceding term by a "common ratio". For example, with a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2 and the first value of 1, the sequence would be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on. Each value after the first one is multiplied by the value prior and 2. 2 * 2 = 4, 4 * 2 = 8, and so on.

For your question, the first value is 4 and the common ratio is 3. Multiply 4 by 3 to get the second value: 12. 12 times 3 is 36. 36 times 3 is 108, and finally, 108 times 3 is 324. The fifth term is 324.

4, 12, 36, 108, 324.
