Answer 1

To represent the third term in the geometric sequence from the table, we need to look for the entry that corresponds to the third minute.

From the table, we can see:

• At 0 minutes: 0 messages sent
• At 1 minute: 3 messages sent
• At 2 minutes: 9 messages sent
• At 3 minutes: 27 messages sent
• At 4 minutes: 81 messages sent

The third term corresponds to 3 minutes and has a value of 27 messages sent. Therefore, the correct point to graph for the third term in the geometric sequence is:

(3, 27)

So the correct response is: (3, 27)
