The table shows how a text message went viral. What point should be graphed to represent the third term in the geometric sequence?
(1 point)
• (4,81)
• (3,1)
• (3, 27)
• (2,9)

Answer 1

To represent the third term in the geometric sequence from the table, we need to identify the term corresponding to the third entry in the sequence of "Messages Sent."

The third term in the sequence appears to be:

• At minute 2, 9 messages were sent.
• At minute 3, 27 messages were sent.

Since the third term corresponds to the minute value of 3, the point representing the third term in the sequence is (3, 27).

Therefore, the correct answer is: • (3, 27)
