Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence.
2,−6,18,−

where

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive means you want to define a sequence in terms of other terms of your sequence.

The common ratio is what term divided by previous term equals.

The common ratio here is -6/2=18/-6=-54/18=-3.

Or in terms of the nth and previous term we could say:

where r is -3

Multiply both sides by the a_(n-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive rule allows us to obtain any term in the sequence from the previous term.

These are the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio r

r = - 6 ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ - 6 = - 54 ÷ 18 = - 3

Thus to obtain a term in the sequence multiply the previous term by - 3

= - 3 with a₁ = 2
