Given Explicit Formula: We are given the explicit formula for the sequence h(n) as h(n)=63*(-(1)/(3))^n. To find the recursive formula, we need to express h(n) in terms of h(n-1).Find h(1): First, let's find h(1) by substituting n=1 into the explicit formula: h(1) = 63 * (-(1)/(3))^(1) = 63 * (-1/3) = -21. This gives us the initial condition for the recursive formula.Express h(n) in terms of h(n-1): Now, let's find h(n) in terms of h(n-1). We know that h(n) = 63 * (-(1)/(3))^n. We can express h(n-1) similarly: h(n-1) = 63 * (-(1)/(3))^(n-1).Divide h(n) by h(n-1): To find the relationship between h(n) and h(n-1), we can divide h(n) by h(n-1): h(n) / h(n-1) = [63 * (-(1)/(3))^n] / [63 * (-(1)/(3))^(n-1)].Simplify the Equation: Simplify the right side of the equation by canceling out common factors and simplifying the powers of -(1/3): h(n) / h(n-1) = (-(1)/(3))^n / (-(1)/(3))^(n-1) = -(1)/(3).Express h(n) in terms of h(n-1): Now we can express h(n) in terms of h(n-1): h(n) = h(n-1) * -(1)/(3). This is the recursive formula for the sequence.

Given Explicit Formula: We are given the explicit formula for the sequence $h(n)$ as $h(n)=63\cdot\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^n$ . To find the recursive formula, we need to express $h(n)$ in terms of $h(n-1)$ .
Find $h(1)$ : First, let's find $h(1)$ by substituting $n=1$ into the explicit formula: $\newline$ $h(1) = 63 \times \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1} = 63 \times \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) = -21.$ $\newline$ This gives us the initial condition for the recursive formula.
Express $h(n)$ in terms of $h(n-1)$ : Now, let's find $h(n)$ in terms of $h(n-1)$ . We know that $h(n) = 63 \times \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^n$ . We can express $h(n-1)$ similarly: $\newline$ $h(n-1) = 63 \times \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}$ .
Divide $h(n)$ by $h(n-1)$ : To find the relationship between $h(n)$ and $h(n-1)$ , we can divide $h(n)$ by $h(n-1)$ : $\frac{h(n)}{h(n-1)} = \frac{63 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^n}{63 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1}}.$
Simplify the Equation: Simplify the right side of the equation by canceling out common factors and simplifying the powers of $-\frac{1}{3}$ : $\frac{h(n)}{h(n-1)} = \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^n / \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1} = -\frac{1}{3}.$
Express $h(n)$ in terms of $h(n-1)$ : Now we can express $h(n)$ in terms of $h(n-1)$ : $h(n) = h(n-1) \times -\left(\frac{1}{3}\right).$ This is the recursive formula for the sequence.
