Answer 1

Here, we want to write a recursive formula for the given sequence

As we can see from the sequence, the first term of the sequence is 1/3

Now, looking at the sequence, if we multiplied the previous term by 4/5, we will get the next term

We obtained this by seeing that the common ratio is 4/5

Now, we want to get the recursive formula

As stated above, we multiply the previous term by 4/5 to get the next term

Thus, we have the recursive formula as;

`a_n\text{ = }(4)/(5)a_(n-1)\text{ where n}\ge2`
