write an equation to describe the sequence below. use n to represent the position of a term in the sequence, where n=1 for the first term
1,3,9,
write ur answer using decimals and integers
To find the equation that describes the given sequence, we can analyze the pattern and determine the relationship between the terms.
Looking at the sequence 1, 3, 9, we can observe that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3.
Based on this pattern, we can express the equation as:
Term(n) = 3^(n-1)
Where Term(n) represents the nth term in the sequence and n is the position of the term.
For example, to find the 4th term in the sequence, we substitute n = 4 into the equation:
Term(4) = 3^(4-1)
= 3^3
= 27
Therefore, the 4th term in the sequence is 27.
