1. Defining and Using Sequences and Series
Sign In
Substitute values for n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to find the first 6 terms.
1, 4, 16, 64, 256, and 1024
f(n)=4^(n-1) To do so we will construct a table.
n | f(n)=4^(n-1) | f(n) |
---|---|---|
1 | f( 1)=4^(1-1) | 1 |
2 | f( 2)=4^(2-1) | 4 |
3 | f( 3)=4^(3-1) | 16 |
4 | f( 4)=4^(4-1) | 64 |
5 | f( 5)=4^(5-1) | 256 |
6 | f( 6)=4^(6-1) | 1024 |
The first 6 terms of this explicit sequence are 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, and 1024.
