Question
![**Instructions:**
Write the sum in expanded form.
\[
\sum_{{n=0}}^{3} a_n \quad \text{where} \quad a_0 = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad a_{n+1} = 2a_n
\]
\[
\sum_{{n=0}}^{3} a_n = \text{[ ]} \quad (\text{Do not simplify.})
\]
**Explanation:**
You're asked to calculate and expand the sum \(\sum_{{n=0}}^{3} a_n\) given the conditions that \(a_0 = 2\) and each subsequent term \(a_{n+1}\) is twice the previous term \(a_n\).
To solve this, you would start by finding each \(a_n\):
- \(a_0 = 2\)
- \(a_1 = 2a_0 = 4\)
- \(a_2 = 2a_1 = 8\)
- \(a_3 = 2a_2 = 16\)
Then, you'll write each term explicitly in the sum, without simplifying:
\[2 + 4 + 8 + 16\]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F59261ac9-63fd-4d3f-99b4-4fb2494d440c%2F47a0bed3-8232-4433-92f3-a98756bdb8ba%2Fnakg4zd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
