59049
Step-by-step explanation:
nine times negative 3 8 times
Answer:
a₉ = 59049
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 9 and r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-27}{9}[/tex] = - 3 , then
a₉ = 9 × [tex](-3)^{8}[/tex] = 9 × 6561 = 59049
