Question

In two or more complete sentences, explain why the following sequence is an example of a finite series. 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... 256

Answer 1

It's a finite series because it goes up by its own value. For example, it starts with 2 and then goes up 2 and then it gets to 4 and goes up 4 and etc.

Answer 2

1)It is always increasing with 2 so it's a series
2) It is finite and not infinite because it has an end (256)
