The sequence given is 13, 1, 3, 9, 27...

Let's break it down:

  • After the first number 13, the sequence starts with 1, which seems to be the starting point for the rest of the terms that follow.
  • The sequence from 1:
    • 1 (which is \(3^0\))
    • 3 (which is \(3^1\))
    • 9 (which is \(3^2\))
    • 27 (which is \(3^3\))

The next term in the pattern of powers of 3 would be:

  • \(3^4 = 81\)

Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 81.
