Answer with explanation:

Geometric sequence--

The sequence is said to be geometric if each of the term of the sequence is obtained by multiplying the preceding term of the sequence by a fixed constant.

This fixed constant is known as a common ratio and is denoted by r.

i.e. the sequence is given by:

a,ar,ar²,ar³,.....

The graph which represents the geometric sequence is attached to the answer.

Since the table of values are as follows:

x y

1 1

2 2

3 4

4 8

i.e. the sequence 1,2,4,8

form a geometric sequence.

Since the common ratio of the sequence is: 2 with first term as: 1

(first term is: 1

second term is: 1×2=2

Third term is: 2×2=4

and fourth term is: 4×2=8 )
