The sequence given is a geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence has the explicit formula in the form:


\begin{gathered} u(n)=ar^(n-1) \\ where \\ a=first\text{ }term \\ r=common\text{ }ratio \end{gathered}

and the recursive formula in the form:


u(n+1)=u(n)* r

The question provides the following parameters:


a=u(1)=16

The recursive formula is given to be:


u(n+1)=9u(n)

Therefore, the common ratio is:


r=9

Hence, the explicit formula is given to be:


u(n)=16(9)^(n-1)

OPTION B is correct.
