To find the third term of the sequence given \( a_1 = 3 \) and \( r = 0.2 \), we need to identify the type of sequence. Since the common ratio \( r \) is provided, we can infer that it is a geometric sequence.
In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio \( r \).
Given:
- \( a_1 = 3 \)
- \( r = 0.2 \)
The second term \( a_2 \) can be calculated as: \[ a_2 = a_1 \times r = 3 \times 0.2 = 0.6 \]
The third term \( a_3 \) can be calculated as: \[ a_3 = a_2 \times r = 0.6 \times 0.2 = 0.12 \]
Thus, the third term of the sequence is \( 0.12 \).
Regarding the type of sequence, since we identified that it has a multiplicative relationship (each term is multiplied by a constant), it is a geometric sequence.
Therefore, the final answer is: The third term of the sequence is 0.12. Statement #2 is true for the sequence (geometric sequence).
