Answer:

-6665

Step-by-step explanation:

The given GP is :

1, -6, 36, ...

Number of terms = 6

The sum of n terms of a GP is given by :

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

Here,

a = 1, n = 6, r = 36/-6 = -6

So,

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{1((-6)^6-1)}{(-6)-1}\\\\=-6665[/tex]

So, the sum of th GP is -6665.
