Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
The recursive formula gives a term in the sequence by multiplying the previous term by r
Given the recursive formula
a₁ = - 6
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] )
with r = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Then explicit formula is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = - 6[tex](\frac{1}{4}) ^{n-1}[/tex] → A
