Which recursive rule matches the sequence (81, 27, 9, 3, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a₁ = 81, aₙ₊₁ = aₙ ÷ 3

A recursive rule requires both the correct initial term and the correct transition from one term to the next. The sequence begins with a_1=81. Dividing successively by 3 gives 81÷3=27, 27÷3=9, and 9÷3=3. Thus the rule is a_1=81 and a_(n+1)=a_n÷3, which is option C. Option A multiplies by 3 and would produce 243 after 81. Option B uses division by 3 but starts at 27, so it does not match the given first term or indexing. Option D subtracts 3 and would produce 78 after 81. The repeated quotient also identifies the sequence as geometric with common ratio 1/3.
