The formula for any geometric sequence is a n = a 1 · r n - 1, where a n represents the value of the nth term, a 1 represents the value of the first term, r represents the common ratio, and n represents the term number. What is the formula for the geometric sequence 4, 8, 16, 32, ... ?

    So first is 4

    1st=4

    2nd=8

    3rd=16

    it seems that they are not just multiplied by 2

    therefor there is an exponent

    we notice that

    4=2^2

    8=2^3

    16=2^4

    therefor

    the formula is

    nth term=2^ (n+1)
