\bf n^(th)\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\ a_n=a_1\cdot r^(n-1)\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^(th)\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ a_1=-3\\ r=9 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-3(9)^(n-1)

for a geometric sequence, the values "n" can take on for it to work, is usually all whole numbers, or positive integers, including 0, or you can say x
