[MOVED] find a Recursive formula that generates the terms of

Write a recursive formula that generates the terms of the following:

. . .1, 3, 9, 27

The pattern is as follows:

. . .1-->1
. . .3---> 1x3
. . .9--->3x3
. . .27--->3x9

So:
t1 = 1
t2 = 3
t3 = 9

I am unsure really how to put it into a recursive formula! :( so yeah!
thanks for your help!

So what is the pattern? At each stage, what do you do with the previous term to get the next term?

I'm not sure what you mean by "so" here, since this is what you were given, what you started with...?
