Introduction to Sequences and Their Notations

What you’ll learn to do: Identify the terms of a sequence and use factorial notation

A video game company launches an exciting new advertising campaign. They predict the number of online visits to their website, or hits, will double each day. The model they are using shows 2 hits the first day, 4 hits the second day, 8 hits the third day, and so on.

Day 1 2 3 4 5
Hits 2 4 8 16 32
