Answer 2

Multiply the previous value by 3.

Explanation:

The correct pattern in the values as the exponents increase is - Multiply the previous value by 3.

We can see, that
`3^(-1)` is
`(1)/(3)`

And in the next step,
`3^0` is
`(1)/(3)*3=1`

In the next step,
`3^1` is
`1*3=3`

In the last step,
`3^2` is
`3*3=9`

So, at each step, 3 is multiplied to the previous product/value.

Therefore, the correct answer is last option.
