Question

The sequence a, = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ... is the same as the sequence ay = 2,

an = 2an-1.

true or false

Answer 1

the answer is TRUE

Answer 2

TRUE

Explanation:

TRUE

a_1 = 2

a_n = 2*(an_1)

if we start with 2, we would get

a_2 = 2*(a_1) = 2*(2) = 4

a_3 = 2*(a_2) = 2*(4) = 8

a_4 = 2*(a_3) = 2*(8) = 16

a_5 = 2*(a_4) = 2*(16) = 32
