Given the sequence:

0.1 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.8…

Write the sequence up until the 30th term

Solution:

In order to write the sequence up until the 30th term, we simply need to multiply each succeeding value by 2.

5th term = 1.6

6th term = 3.2

7th term = 6.4

8th term = 12.8

9th term = 25.6

10th term = 51.2

11th term = 102.4

12th term = 204.8

13th term = 409.6

14th term = 819.2

15th term =1,6384.2

16th term = 3,276.8

17th term = 6,553.6

18th term = 13,107.2

19th term = 26,214.4

20th term =52,428.8

21st term = 104.857.6

22nd term =  209.715.2

23rd term = 419,430.4

24th term = 838,860.8

25th term = 1,677,721.6

26th term = 3,355,443.2

27th term = 6,710,886.4

28th term = 13,421,772.8

29th term = 26,843,545.6

30th term = 53,687,091.2
