Answer:


Explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the next term is a constant times the previous term. This constant is determined by dividing the second term by the first, here giving 5. The remaining terms are checked to see that each is 5 times the previous. 75 is 15×5, 375 is 75×5.


Alternately, the nth term is first term times k^(n-1).

Here, that's 3×5^(10-1), 3×5^9=5859375
