Illustration of a mathematical sequence starting with 2 and 1, where each subsequent term is found by multiplying the two previous terms together and doubling the result.

To find the subsequent terms in the sequence you described, we follow the rule: each term is obtained by multiplying the two preceding terms and then doubling the result. 1. First term = 2 2. Second

Given the sequence where each term is found by multiplying the two preceding terms together and then doubling the result, let's find the requested terms. 1. **First term \( a_1 \) = 2** 2. **Second term \( a_2 \) = 1** Using the given rule: \[ a_{n} = 2 \times (a_{n-1} \times a_{n-2}) \] We can find the subsequent terms as follows: **Third term \( a_3 \):** \[ a_3 = 2 \times (a_2 \times a_1) = 2 \times (1 \times 2) = 2 \times 2 = 4 \] **Fourth term \( a_4 \):** \[ a_4 = 2 \times (a_3 \times a_2) = 2 \times (4 \times 1) = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] **Fifth term \( a_5 \):** \[ a_5 = 2 \times (a_4 \times a_3) = 2 \times (8 \times 4) = 2 \times 32 = 64 \] So, the terms are: 1. \( a_1 = 2 \) 2. \( a_2 = 1 \) 3. \( a_3 = 4 \) 4. \( a_4 = 8 \) 5. \( a_5 = 64 \)
