What is a geometric sequence?

• a list of numbers where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant

• a list of numbers where each term is found by adding the previous term by a constant

Write the formula to find the nth term:
1, 2, 4, 8,...

• $a\left(n\right)=2\left(2\right)^{n-1}$

• $a\left(n\right)=1\left(2\right)^{n-1}$

• $a\left(n\right)=1\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}$

• $a\left(n\right)=1\left(2\right)^n$
