This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by 4 gives the next term. In other words:
an = a1 * r ^ (n-1)
Now, knowing that a1 = 2, and r = 4
We check
a2 = 2 * 4 ^ (2-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 1) = 8
a3 = 2 * 4 ^ (3-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 2) = 32
a4 = 2 * 4 ^ (4-1) = 2 * (4 ^ 3) = 128
Therefore, this is the geometric function that this sequence fulfills.
To calculate the mean of a set of numbers and them all together and divide by the amount of numbers.
Example:
Find the mean of 12, 25, 36.
12 + 25 + 36 = 73
73 / 3 = 24.33
Our mean is 24.33.
