Answer

\(\boxed{400000}\) is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 :Given a geometric sequence with the first term (a) as 4 and the common ratio (r) as 10.

Step 2 :The formula to find the nth term of a geometric sequence is \(a \cdot r^{(n-1)}\).

Step 3 :We are asked to find the sixth term, so we substitute \(a=4\), \(r=10\), and \(n=6\) into the formula.

Step 4 :Calculating, we find that the sixth term is 400000.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{400000}\) is the final answer.
