Answer:
The geometric sequence given is:
3, 9, and 27
When provided with a geometric sequence we must first calculate the common ratio
r is obtained by dividing a term by its preceding term.
1) 9
---- = 3
3
2) 27
---- = 3
9
for the sequence
- Common ratio r = 3
- First term a = 3
- n = 8
The 8th term can be obtained through formula
n-1 (8 - 1)
T = ar = 3 × 3
n
7
= 3 × 3
= 3 × 2187 = 6561
