help! with a math pattern: the “n” value table is 1, 2, 3… and the table under it is 2, 4, 8, 16, n = ?
yes i know it seems easy but i’ve been studying forever and i can’t even fit anything into my brain. if you look at the setup, you have 1, 2, 3, 4… on top of 2, 4, 8, 16 respectively. and the point is that each number in the top table has to have a formula to equal whatever number is right under it. you would think its 2n, and that works for 1 and 2, but not 3. see what i mean?

It is 2 ^ n.
This is what you do:
2 ^ 1 = 2
2 ^ 2 = 4
2 ^ 3 = 8
2 ^ 4 = 16
See what I did? I put in 1 in for n to get 2, 2 in for n to get 4, 3 in for n to get 8, and 4 in for n to get 16.
I hope this helps!

Oh, this is tough. it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because of the 3 and 8.
1+1=2
2+1+1=4
3+2+2+1=8
4+4+3+3+2=16
That’s all I have for now.

It seems your table is showing you the different powers of 2.
2 to the 1st = 2
2 to the 2nd = 4
2 to the 3rd = 8
2 to the 4th = 16
so…
2 to the 5th (this being n)= 32
