This math topic focuses on identifying the first three terms of geometric number sequences. Each problem presents a different sequence formula, requiring the variable to start at 1 and to determine the subsequent values when plugged into the formula. Multiple-choice answers are provided for each sequence, testing the ability to evaluate powers of numbers correctly and understand geometric progression patterns in the context of powers.
