Question about infinite series

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a problem related to infinite series, specifically identifying the first correct reason among several options. Key points include the clarification of the mathematical expressions ##6^{2n}=(6^2)^n=36^n## and ##(6^2+1)^n=37^n##. Participants emphasize the importance of verifying options 4 and 6, suggesting that option 4 is manageable once the correct interpretation is applied. The moderator notes the need for precision in selecting the first correct reason.

To anyone that can help me with this - You have to pick the FIRST correct reason. Work below (exception of 4 because I cannot figure it out), but in order to get the question right you must have all correct and I cannot figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

I'd double check 4 & 6.
 
No4 is not that hard once you figure out that ##6^{2n}=(6^2)^n=36^n## and ##(6^2+1)^n=37^n##.

No6 looks fine to me. (oh now I see it says the FIRST reason, might be A afterall).
