If (a_1=1) and (a_{n+1}=a_n+2^n), what is (a_5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 31

The recursive rule adds successive powers of 2 to the current term. Thus, a_2=1+2^1=3, a_3=3+2^2=7, a_4=7+2^3=15, and a_5=15+2^4=31. Therefore, 31 is correct. The value 35 would require adding 20 instead of 16 in the last step, which does not follow the rule. Exam tip: to find a_5, apply the recurrence only for n=1 through n=4.
