Question

B(n)=1 (-2)^n-1
What is the 4th term in the sequence

Answer 1

The fourth term of the sequence B(4) =-8

The sequence is 1,-2,4,-8...

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the sequence

B(n) = 1(-2)ⁿ⁻¹

Put n=1

B(1) = 1(-2)¹⁻¹ = 2⁰ =1

Put n=2

B(2) = 1(-2)²⁻¹ = (-2)¹ =-2

Put n=3

B(3) =1(-2)³⁻¹ = (-2)² =4

Put n=4

B(4) = 1(-2)⁴⁻¹ =(-2)³ =-8

The sequence

1,-2,4,-8...
