What is the explicit formula for the geometric sequence with this recursive formula?

D.) Is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for geometric sequence is:

Since we know and

Let's calculate the first three terms using the top equations, but since we already know what is then we only need and .

Calculate let n=2 and so:

Calculate let n=3 and so:

Now the only answer choice that will return the same values is:

D.)

Check:

Let n=1:

Let n=2:

Finally let n=3 to check our answers:

Mark brainliest, much appreciated.

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
