Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

21 ÷ 7 = 63 ÷ 21 = 3

this indicates the sequence is geometric with explicit formula


a_(n) = a₁
r^(n-1)

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ration

here a₁ = 7 and r = 3 , then


a_(n) = 7 .
3^(n-1) ← explicit formula

the recursive formula allows a term to be found by multiplying the previous term by r , then


a_(n) = 7 .
a_(n-1) ← recursive formula
