This is an example of a geometric sequence.

Find the common difference.

32 / 16 = 2

16 / 8 = 2

The common difference is 2. This means that each term is divided by 2 to get the next term. To find the 4th term of the sequence we can divide 8 by 2.

8 / 2 = 4

Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 4.

Best of Luck!
