What is the (5)th term of the geometric progression (2,8,32,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 512

In this geometric progression, the first term is \(a=2\) and the common ratio is \(r=8/2=4\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a r^{n-1}\). Therefore, \(a_5=2\times4^{5-1}=2\times4^4=512\). Choosing 256 results from using one power too few. Exam tip: in the \(n\)th-term formula, the exponent of the common ratio is always \(n-1\).
