Explanation
A geometric sequence is defined as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_1=a*r^0=a*r^{1-1}, \\ a_2=a*r^1=a*r^{2-1}, \\ a_3=a*r^2=a*r^{3-1}, \\ ... \\ a_7=a*r^6=a*r^{7-1}, \\ ... \end{gathered}[/tex]
Where r ≠ 0 is the common ratio and a ≠ 0 is the first term of the sequence.
From the statement, we know that r = 2/3 and the first term is a = 5.
Replacing these numbers in the expression of the 7th term, we get:
[tex]a_7=5*(\frac{2}{3})^6=5*\frac{64}{729}=\frac{320}{729}.[/tex]
