Answer:

8th term- 6,561

Explanation:

Each term in the sequence is being multiplied by 3. For example, 3x3=9 and 9x3=27. Now, we need to continue multiplying numbers, so we can list them all here, still starting with 3.

1&2) 3x3=9

3) 9x3=27

4) 27x3=81

5) 81x3=243

6) 243x3=729

7) 729x3=2,187

8) 2,187x3=6,561

The 8th term of the geometric sequence is 6,561.

Hope this helps and have a great day! ^^
