Answer:

135

Explanation:

since this is a recursive formula it shows that 5/3 is our 1st term and the common ration is -9 see: Step 1. a(1)=5/3 a(2) = Step 2. a(1)x-9=-15

Step 3. a(3) = -15x9=135 i hope this helps :D bye have a good day!!!!

Answer:

a₃ = 135

Explanation:

using the recursive rule and a₁ =
(5)/(3) , then

a₂ = a₁ × - 9 =
(5)/(3) × - 9 = 5 × - 3 = - 15

a₃ = a₂ × - 9 = - 15 × - 9 = 135
