A group of students is arranging squares into layers to create a project. The first layer has 4 squares. The second layer has 8 squares. Which formula represents an arithmetic explicit formula to determine the number of squares in each layer?

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~

do have an equation or graph or
