Let the sequence {an} be defined so that a1 = 1 and each succeeding term is found by multiplying the one before it by 4. find the formula representing an, the nth term of the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

When each term is multiplied by a number to get the next term, it is a geometric sequence.

The general term (nth term) of a geometric sequence is given by the formula:

Where is the first term and r is the common ratio (the number which is multiplied with a term to get the next term)

Now plugging in these into the formula gives us:

alaska, florida, nevada, south dakota, texas, washington and wyoming, tenessee and new hampshire.
