Arecursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=49; an=3an−1 . what is the explicit rule for this sequence?

The explicit rule for the geometric sequence is in the form,

              an = (a1)^(r -1)

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, and r is the common ratio. Substituting the known terms from the given above, we arrive to the explicit form of the sequence which is,

            an = 49^(3 - 1)

They sought new allies to germany tried to get mexico to join and put pressure on the us. the us joined the allies because of the lucitania

Yea they are simplyfiy the ratios
