I don't think that that "m" belongs in this sequence. Focus on 9, -27, 81, ...

Multiplying 9 by what number produces the product -27?

Mult. -27 by what number produces 81?

This number is called the "common ratio" of this "geometric sequence."

Finish this recursive formula:

a_(n+1) = (a_n) * ( )
