1. We note that the series is a geometric series with a common ratio of r=16/4=4
The first term, i=1, is given by
4=1*4^1=4^i
The second term, i=2, is given by
16=4^2=4^i
...
and the last term, i=5, is given by
1024=4^5=4^i

Therefore the summation is for
4^i for i=1 to i=5.

What is the first term in a geometric series with ten terms, a common ratio of 0.5 and a sum of 511.5? I got 256 as my answer. 511.5=a1[1-(.5)^10]/1-1/2 511.5=a1(1023/1024)/1/2 511.5=a1(1023/512) ----> divide by both sides 256=a1
