Answer:

So the sequence will be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 .......

Explanation:

We have to graph the first six terms of a sequence with first term a = 4 and r = 2 Since r denotes common ratio so the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

Now we know the explicit formula for a geometric sequence is


T_((n))=a(r)^(n-1)

Since
T_(1) = 4

So
T_(2)=4(2)^(2-1) = 4 × 2 = 8


T_(3)=4(2)^(3-1) = 4 × 2² = 4 × 4 = 16


T_(4)=4(2)^(4-1) =
(4)(2)^(3) = 4 × 8 = 32


T_(5)=4(2)^(5-1) =
4(2)^(4) = 4 × 16 = 64


T_(6)=4(2)^(6-1) =
4(2)^(5) = 4 × 32 = 128

So the sequence will be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 .......
