Calculate the explicit formula
term number 10
Sum of the first 10 terms for:
2,4,8,16,32

The explicit formula for a geometric series is an = a1r(n - 1)
r represents the common ratio between each term below:

r =	an
	an - 1

Looking at all the terms, we see the common ratio (r) is 2, and we have a1 = 2
We simplify a1 to just a
ar = 2 x 2 =
Therefore, our explicit formula is an = (2)2(n - 1)

Calculate Terms (6 - 10)

Plug in n = 10 and r = 2

#	Step 1	Step 2	Step 3	Term
a6	2 x 2(6 - 1)	2 x 25	2 x 32	64
a7	2 x 2(7 - 1)	2 x 26	2 x 64	128
a8	2 x 2(8 - 1)	2 x 27	2 x 128	256
a9	2 x 2(9 - 1)	2 x 28	2 x 256	512
a10	2 x 2(10 - 1)	2 x 29	2 x 512	1024

Calculate the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence, denoted Sn:

Sn =	a1(1 - rn)
	1 - r

With n = 10, and r = 2, we get:

S10 =	2(1 - 210)
	1 - 2

S10 =	2(1 - 1024)
	-1

S10 =	2(-1023)
	-1

S10 =	-2046
	-1

Final Answer

S10 = 2046
