a_{n+1} =7a_{n}.

If we know the term n^{th} and the common relation, r, of a geometric sequence, you can find the term (n+1)^{th} using the recursive formula a_{n+1} =a_{n}.r.

The first term of the geometric sequence is a₁ = -3.

The common relation we have to find the relationship between a term and the term that precedes it.

r=\frac{-21}{-3} = 7

The recursive formula is:

a_{1} =-3

a_{n+1} =7a_{n}

a_1=-3\\r=7\\a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot r\\\\ \boxed{a_n=7a_{n-1}}
