\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=1\\ r=3\\ n=7 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_7=1\cdot 3^(7-1)\implies a_7=1\cdot 3^6\implies a_7=1\cdot 729\implies a_7=729
