Answer:
a₃ = 32 805
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term is 3 times the previous term:
r = 3
The sum of the first nine terms in a sequence is 49,205:
[tex]S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-q^n}{1-q}\\\\\\49205=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-3^9}{1-3}\\\\49205=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-19683}{-2}\\\\49205=a_1\cdot9841\\\\a_1=5[/tex]
What is the third term?
[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot q^{n-1}\\\\a_3=5\cdot3^8=32805[/tex]
