To determine if the given sequence is arithmetic, we need to check if the difference between each consecutive pair of terms is the same.
Taking the difference between consecutive terms:
9 - 3 = 6
27 - 9 = 18
81 - 27 = 54
Since the differences are not the same, the sequence does not appear to be arithmetic.
Therefore, we cannot find the common difference or the next three terms in the sequence.
Determine whether sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms in the sequence.
3, 9, 27, 81
