Answer:

  an = 4×34^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If your recursive definition is ...

  [tex]\begin{cases}a_1=4\\a_{n}=34a_{n-1}\end{cases}[/tex]

this defines a geometric sequence with a first term a1 = 4 and a common ratio of r = 34. The general form of the explicit function is ...

  [tex]a_n=a_1\times r^{n-1}[/tex]

For the values shown here, the explicit definition of the sequence is ...

  [tex]\boxed{a_n=4\times 34^{n-1}}[/tex]
