What is S10 for 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 +
The sequence is:
1, 3, 9, 27, ...
To find S10, we need to find the sum of the first 10 terms in the sequence. We can determine the pattern by observing that each term is 3 times the previous term:
1 * 3 = 3
3 * 3 = 9
9 * 3 = 27
So the sequence follows a pattern of multiplying by 3. Therefore, the 10th term is 27 * 3 = 81.
To find S10, we add the first 10 terms:
1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243 + 729 + 2187 + 6561 + 19683
S10 = 29524
