The sequence you provided is a geometric sequence. In a geometric sequence, each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor.
In this case:
- 52 is obtained by multiplying 26 by 2 (26 * 2 = 52)
- 104 is obtained by multiplying 52 by 2 (52 * 2 = 104)
- 208 is obtained by multiplying 104 by 2 (104 * 2 = 208)
The common ratio of this geometric sequence is 2. Thus, the sequence can be described as having a first term of 26 and a common ratio of 2.
