To represent the third term in the geometric sequence from the provided table, we can look for the entry corresponding to the third minute.
From the given data:
- At 0 minutes, 0 messages were sent.
- At 1 minute, 3 messages were sent.
- At 2 minutes, 9 messages were sent.
- At 3 minutes, 27 messages were sent.
- At 4 minutes, 81 messages were sent.
The third term in the sequence occurs at 3 minutes, where 27 messages were sent.
Therefore, the point that should be graphed to represent the third term in the geometric sequence is:
(3, 27)
So, the correct response is:
(3,27)
