question

The geometric sequence with nn terms t1,t2,,tn1,tnt_{1}, t_{2}, \ldots, t_{n-1}, t_{n} has t1tn=3t_{1} t_{n}=3. Also, the product of all nn terms equals 59049 (that is, t1t2tn1tn=59049t_{1} t_{2} \cdots t_{n-1} t_{n}=59049 ). Determine the value of nn. (A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained from the previous term by multiplying it by a constant. For example, 3,6,123,6,12 is a geometric sequence with three terms.)
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
The geometric sequence with n terms t₁,t₂,…,t_(n−1),t_(n) has t₁t_(n)=3. Also, the product of all n terms equals 59049 (that is, t₁t₂⋯t_(n−1)t_(n)=59049 ). Determine the value of n.

Original LaTeX notation
The geometric sequence with $n$ terms $t_{1}, t_{2}, \ldots, t_{n-1}, t_{n}$ has $t_{1} t_{n}=3$. Also, the product of all $n$ terms equals 59049 (that is, $t_{1} t_{2} \cdots t_{n-1} t_{n}=59049$ ). Determine the value of $n$.

(A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained from the previous term by multiplying it by a constant. For example, $3,6,12$ is a geometric sequence with three terms.)
