seems to be a geometric sequence which is found by

a_(n)=a_(1)(r)^(n-1)

an=nth term
a1=first term
r=common ratio

first term is 0.75
it doubles each time so common ratio is 2


a_(n)=0.75(2)^(n-1)
to find the nth term, input n and evaluate
example
to find the 20th term

a_(50)=0.75(2)^(20-1)

a_(50)=0.75(2)^(19)

a_(50)=0.75(1048576)

a_(50)=786432


just to find the kth term, input k for n in

a_(n)=a_(1)(r)^(n-1)
