Question

Let the sequence (an) be defined so that a1=1 and each succeeding term is found by multiplying the one before it by 4. Find the

formula representing the ab and nth term of the sequence.

A)4n-1
B)4n
C)4n+1
D) 42n

Answer 1

a(n) = 4⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ is the answer :))))) goodluck!

Explanation:

a₁ = 1 = 4⁰

a₂ = 4 =4¹

a₃ =4 x 4=4²

a₄ =4 x 4² =4³

a(n) = 4⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
