Answer:

$a_{n}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is

r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 243 ÷ 81 = - 3

The recursive formula is of the form

$a_{n}$ = r $a_{n-1}$ = - 3 $a_{n-1}$

Answer: Third Option

$x=1.469743$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exponential equation

$3^{x+1}=15$

We must solve the equation for the variable x

To clear the variable x apply the $log_3$ function on both sides of the equation

$log_3(3^{x+1})=log_3(15)$

Simplifying we get the following:

$x+1=log_3(15)$

To simplify the expression $log_3 (15)$ we apply the base change property

$log_b(y)=\frac{log(y)}{log(b)}$

This means that:

$log_3 (15)=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}$

Then:

$x+1=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}$

$x=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}-1$

$x=1.469743$
