We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.
We can write the terms of this sequence as
From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .
For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .
For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .
Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .
Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by
Therefore, the next term is 33.
Using the above facts, the pattern is given by
Hi there!
f(x) = 2(1/5)ˣ
Recall the form of an exponential function:
f(x) = a(b)ˣ where:
a = initial value
b = rate of decay/growth
If b > 1, the function is undergoing exponential growth. If b < 1, then the function is undergoing exponential decay.
1/5 < 1, so the function is undergoing exponential decay, not growth.
