Find the first four terms of the sequence

Question

Find the first four terms of the sequence defined below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. Start with n = 1. 3(3)n

A. 9, 27, 81, 243

B. 3, 9, 27, 81

C. 27, 81, 243, 729

D. 1, 3, 9, 27

Answer 1

Well, I'm not sure exactly what you meant to type. Is it really 3(3)ⁿ?

If that's the case, start with n = 1, plug it in and find the result.

3(3)¹ = 3(3) = 9

3(3)² = 3(9) = 27

Assuming you copied it correctly, your answer is A.

Answer 2

Hi Sammy L.

First of all is your sequence written correctly?

3(3)n says 3 x 3 x n which is 9n

Or is your sequence

3(3)ⁿ?

Need to clarify that please.

9n does not result in any of the choices you have listed.
