The 7th term of the geometric sequence
3, 9, 27, … is 2,187.
an = a1r^(n - 1)
a7 = 3*3^6 = 2,187
You're multiplying the previous term by 3 or you could say that the number's position in the sequence is the power for 3. You could waste time by multiplying by 3 7 times or just calculate 3^7 which is 2187
