Answer: 1953125

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence = 1, 5, 25, 125, ….

We can rewrite the terms of the above sequence as (power of 5):

[tex]5^0,\ 5^1,\ 5^2,\ 5^3\ ,....[/tex]

Formula for each term : [tex]f(n)=5^{n-1}[/tex]

To find the 10th term , we substitute n=10 , we get

[tex]f(10)=5^{10-1}=5^9\\\\=5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\\\\=1953125[/tex]

Hence, the 10th term of the sequence.= 1953125
