Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is a term defined in terms of other terms in the sequence.
The is a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio.
The common ratio can be found by dividing a term by previous term.
For example, all of these are equal:



They are all equal to
.
So we are saying:

More formally:
.
Multiply both sides by
:

When doing recursive form, you need to state a term of the sequence (or more depending on the recursive form you have).
So the first term is 2.
So the full thing for the answer is:


Answer:
- y = 50·3^x
- (2, 450), (3, 1350), (4, 4050), (5, 12150)
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you each observed count is 3 times the last one.
__
Expressed as an exponential function with an initial value of 50 and a growth factor of 3, the formula is ...
y = (initial value)×(growth factor)^x
y = 50·3^x
