Answer 1

To represent the third term in the geometric sequence based on the provided table, you need to look for the corresponding values for the third minute, which is when 3 minutes have elapsed.

From the table:

Thus, the point to be graphed that represents the third term in the geometric sequence is:

**(3, 27)**

The correct answer is:

**(3, 27)**
