The sequence of data points follows an exponential pattern. Substitute the common ratio into the recursive formula for geometric sequences and define.

The common ratio can be found by dividing the second term by the first term. Write a recursive formula for the following geometric sequence. Given the first several terms of a geometric sequence, write its recursive formula. The recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio and first term is Recursive Formula for a Geometric Sequence

For example, suppose the common ratio is 9. Each term is the product of the common ratio and the Allows us to find any term of a geometric sequence by using the
