$a_{n}$ = 3 $(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

6 ÷ 3 = 12 ÷ 6 = 24 ÷ 12 = 48 ÷ 24 = 2

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 3 and r = 2 , thus

$a_{n}$ = 3 $(2)^{n-1}$
