Math Problem Statement

What is the nth term in the pattern 193+7x 2 to the 30th power, 193+ 8x 2 to the 30th power, 193+ 9x2 to the 30th power

Solution

The sequence you're describing appears to follow a pattern of the form:

an=193+(n+6)×230a_n = 193 + (n+6) \times 2^{30}

Let's break this down:

  • The first term corresponds to n=1n = 1, which is 193+7×230193 + 7 \times 2^{30}.
  • The second term corresponds to n=2n = 2, which is 193+8×230193 + 8 \times 2^{30}.
  • The third term corresponds to n=3n = 3, which is 193+9×230193 + 9 \times 2^{30}.

So, the nn-th term of the sequence is:

an=193+(n+6)×230a_n = 193 + (n+6) \times 2^{30}

Want to go further? Here are some related questions:

  1. How would you calculate the 5th term of this sequence?
  2. How can we generalize sequences with exponential growth like this one?
  3. What happens if you replace the 2^30 term with a different base, say 3?
  4. How does the sequence change if we subtract instead of adding the exponential term?
  5. How do we find the sum of the first nn terms of such a sequence?

Tip: When dealing with exponential sequences like this, recognizing the pattern in the multiplier (in this case, 2302^{30}) is key to finding the general term efficiently.
