Answer: 7th term in the sequence is 729.


Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence with the first term being 1 and the common ratio being -3.

To find the 7th term, we can use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence:

a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1)

where a_1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term number we want to find.

Plugging in the values we have, we get:

a_7 = 1 * (-3)^(7-1)
= 1 * (-3)^6
= 1 * 729
= 729
