These are powers of 3 ordered from 3 0 = 1 to 3 a (for an integer a 1 ). However, the first convenient value for n is 1, not 0 (imagine saying the 0th term of a sequence). Because of that, since the first term is actually 3 0 , we need to start from the first term (n=1) being
3 1 - 1 . The next is 3 2 - 1 , 3 3 - 1 ... 3 n - 1 .
