Answer 1

In the given table, the minutes represent the x-values and the messages sent represent the y-values of a geometric sequence. To find the point that represents the third term, we can look at the entry for 3 minutes, which corresponds to the third term of the sequence.

From the table:

• At 3 minutes, the number of messages sent is 27.

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

(3, 27)

The correct response is: (3,27)
