Given the recursive formula below, which of the following equations is a correct explicit formula for the sequence?

$$a_1=10$$ $$a_{n+1} = 2a_n$$

Summary Submit Skip Question

The recursive formula implies that each successive term is double the previous. This is a geometric sequence with starting term 10 and ratio 2.

$$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$$ $$\boxed{a_n=10 \cdot 2^{n-1}}$$
