The sixth term in the sequence \( 3, 1, \frac{1}{3}, \dots \) is:
The sixth term in the sequence \( 3, 1, \frac{1}{3}, \dots \) is:
Show Hint
When the common ratio is a fraction less than 1, the terms will decrease rapidly. You can often verify your answer by simply writing out the terms manually for small \( n \): \( 3, 1, 1/3, 1/9, 1/27, 1/81 \).

- \( \frac{1}{27} \)
- \( \frac{1}{9} \)
- \( \frac{1}{81} \)
- \( \frac{1}{17} \)
- \( \frac{1}{7} \)
