Answer:

Option C is correct.

a_n =11 \cdot 3^{n-1}

Explanation:

Explicit formula for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n =a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio term.

Given the recursive formula for geometric sequence:

a_1 = 11

a_n =3 \cdot a_{n-1}

For n =2

a_2 = 3 \cdot a_{2-1}

a_2 = 3 \cdot a_1

⇒a_2 = 3 \cdot 11 = 33

For n =3

a_3= 3 \cdot a_{3-1}

a_3= 3 \cdot a_{2}

⇒a_3= 3 \cdot 33 = 99

Common ratio(r):

\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{33}{11} = 3

\frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{99}{33} = 3 and so on..

⇒ r = 3

Therefore, the explicit formula for the geometric sequence represented by the recursive formula is:

a_n =11 \cdot 3^{n-1}
