Answer:

The sequence is the ratio of 4:8, or 16:32. This is because the sequence needs to be divided into 2 different factors in order for it to match. The sequence is...

add 4, add 8, add 16, continue on.

The formula is...

4 * x = sequence

In this case, x is the increasing factor. I substituted it due to the fact that it's a constantly increasing number, not just a straight-up number we can declare.
