Answer: (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The pattern is 2, 4, 16, 256...
From the pattern, we can see that the next term is square of the previous i.e.
[tex]\Rightarrow 4=2^2\\\Rightarrow 16=4^2\\\Rightarrow 256=16^2[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow 4=2^2\\\Rightarrow 16=4^2\\\Rightarrow 256=16^2[/tex]
So, for the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term, the function is [tex]f(n)[/tex]
For the next term, it is [tex]f(n+1)[/tex]
So,
[tex]\Rightarrow f(n+1)=[f(n)]^2[/tex]
