Use the table to answer the question.
0 | 0
1 | 3
2 | 9
3 | 27
4 | 81
The table shows how a text message went viral. What point should be graphed to represent the third term in the geometric sequence?
A. (4, 81)
B. (3, 27)
C. (2, 9)
D. (3, 1)
The geometric sequence in the table is formed by multiplying each term by 3. To find the third term, we can start with the first term (1) and multiply by 3 twice.
1 * 3 * 3 = 9
So, the third term in the geometric sequence is 9. This corresponds to the point (2, 9) in the table.
Therefore, the point that should be graphed to represent the third term in the geometric sequence is C. (2, 9).
