**Title: Understanding Sequences**

**Several terms of a sequence \(\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) are given below:**

\[ \{1, 4, 16, 64, 256, \ldots\} \]

---

**Questions:**

a. Find the next two terms of the sequence.

b. Find a recurrence relation that generates the sequence (supply the initial value of the index and the first term of the sequence).

c. Find an explicit formula for the general \(n\)th term of the sequence.

---

**Answers:**

a. The next two terms of the sequence are \(a_6 = \boxed{\phantom{}} \) and \(a_7 = \boxed{\phantom{}}\). (Simplify your answers.)
