To find n-therm of a geometric sequence, we are going to use the formula a_{n} =a _{1} r^{n-1}
where:
a_{n} is the term we are looking for
a _{1} is the first term 
r is the ratio 
n is the position of the number in the sequence 

From the question we now that a _{1} =3, r= \sqrt{2}, and n=9. Lets replace those values into our formula to get:
a _{9} =3( \sqrt{2} )^{9-1}
a_{9} =3 \sqrt{2} ^{8}
a_{9} =48

We can conclude that in our geometric sequence a_{9} =48; therefore, the answer is A.

in a cookie jar,1/5 of the cookies are chocolate chip and 1/2 of the rest are peanut butter.What fraction of all the cookies is
Tamiku [17]
If 1/5 are chocolate chip, then 4/5 are not chocolate chip because 1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

Half of 4/5 are peanut butter. Half of 4/5 is 2/5, so 2/5 of the cookies are peanut butter.
