Answer:

[tex]x_n=(4)1.5^{(n-1)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence equation:  [tex]x_n=ar^{(n-1)}[/tex]

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

From the table, the first term is 4 (number of visitors in year 1), so a = 4

To find the common ratio, divide a term by its previous term:

9/6 = 1.5

Therefore, [tex]x_n=(4)1.5^{(n-1)}[/tex]
