Q. h(n)=−91⋅(−71)n−1Complete the recursive formula of h(n).h(1)=□h(n)=h(n−1)⋅□
Identify First Term: Identify the first term of the sequence.To find the recursive formula, we need to establish the first term, h(1).h(1)=−91×(−(1)/(7))(1−1)=−91×(−(1)/(7))0=−91×1=−91
Determine Common Ratio: Determine the common ratio of the sequence.The common ratio is the factor that each term is multiplied by to get the next term. In this case, the common ratio is the base of the exponent, which is −71.
Write Recursive Formula: Write the recursive formula using the first term and the common ratio.The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is h(n)=h(n−1)×r, where r is the common ratio.For this sequence, the recursive formula is:h(n)=h(n−1)×(−71)
Combine First Term and Formula: Combine the first term and the recursive formula.The complete recursive formula for the sequence is:h(1)=−91h(n)=h(n−1)×(−71) for n > 1
