Answer: 0.00133m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

distance crawled by the snail = 6cm = 0.06m

Time taken = 0.75minutes = 0.75*60

Time taken = 45secs

Required

constant rate of change of the snail's crawl (speed)

Speed of the snail = distance/time;

Speed of the snail = 0.06/45

Speed of the snail = 0.00133m/s

Hence the constant rate of change of the snail's crawl in m/s is 0.00133m/s

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=1\\
r=3\\
n=7
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_7=1\cdot 3^{7-1}\implies a_7=1\cdot 3^6\implies a_7=1\cdot 729\implies a_7=729$
