Answer:
a(n) = 7*2^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term of the given geometric sequence, 7, 14, 28, 56, 112, ... , is 7, and the common ratio is 2. Each new term is twice the previous term.
Thus the general formula for the geometric sequence becomes
a(n) = 7*2^(n - 1).
As a check, let's see whether this formula correctly predicts the fourth term (56): Here n = 4, and so a(4) = 7*2^(4 - 1) = 7*2^3 = 7*8 = 56. Yes.
