Question 8 • Advanced Financial Algebra

What is the value when n=6 in the geometric sequence defined by a_n=2⁢(4)^n−1 ?

Answer
A
1 comma 024
B
32 comma 768
C
8 comma 192
D
2 comma 048

Explanation

The exponent is n − 1, so substitute n = 6: a₆ = 2(4)^(6 − 1) = 2(4⁵). Since 4⁵ = 1,024, a₆ = 2 × 1,024 = 2,048. The correct choice is 2,048.
