If (a_1=90) and (a_{n+1}=a_n-2^n), what is (a_4)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(76\)

The amount subtracted changes at each step. \(a_2=90-2^1=88\), \(a_3=88-2^2=84\), and \(a_4=84-2^3=76\). Therefore, the correct answer is \(76\). The value \(78\) could result from incorrectly subtracting 2, 4, and 6 instead of powers of 2. Exam tip: to find \(a_4\), apply the rule successively for \(n=1,2,3\).
