To find the value of S6, we will use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence:
S_n = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)
where:S_n = sum of the first n termsn = number of termsa = first termd = common difference
Given that B1 = 81 and q = 1/3, we can determine the first term and the common difference for the geometric sequence:
B1 = aq = d
a = 81d = 1/3
Now we need to find S6:
S6 = 6/2(2(81) + (6-1)(1/3))S6 = 3(162 + 5/3)S6 = 3(486/3 + 5/3)S6 = 3(491/3)S6 = 1473/3S6 = 491
Therefore, S6 is equal to 491.

q = d
a = 81
d = 1/3

S6 = 3(162 + 5/3)
S6 = 3(486/3 + 5/3)
S6 = 3(491/3)
S6 = 1473/3
S6 = 491
Therefore, S6 is equal to 491.
