Answer:

a7=4/3 or a7=-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

using the geometric sequences formula

an=ar^n-1

a2=ar

a4=ar³

when a2=324 and a4=36

324=ar...........(1)

36=ar³............(2)

from equation (1) a=324/r substitute in equation (2)

we have :

36=324/r *r³

36=324r²

r²=36/324

r²=1/9

r=±1/3

substitute when r=±1/3 in (1)

324=a(±1/3)

a=±972

so the 7th term is

when r=±1/3

we have

a7=ar^6

a7=±972(±1/3)^6

a7=972/729

a7=4/3 or a7=-4/3
