Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a sequence defined by a_n = 2^n, what is the value of a_5?
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for the sequence, which is a_n = 2^n.
  • Step 2: Determine the value of n for which we want to find a_n. In this case, n = 5.
  • Step 3: Substitute n = 5 into the formula: a_5 = 2^5.
  • Step 4: Calculate 2^5. This means multiplying 2 by itself 5 times: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2.
  • Step 5: Perform the multiplication: 2 * 2 = 4, then 4 * 2 = 8, then 8 * 2 = 16, and finally 16 * 2 = 32.
  • Step 6: Conclude that a_5 = 32.
