To find the fifth term of the sequence defined by the function \( f(n) = 2^{(n - 1)} \), we substitute \( n = 5 \) into the function:
\[
f(5) = 2^{(5 - 1)} = 2^{4}
\]
Now, calculate \( 2^4 \):
\[
2^4 = 16
\]
Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is:
\[
f(5) = 16
\]
\[
f(5) = 2^{(5 - 1)} = 2^{4}
\]
Now, calculate \( 2^4 \):
\[
2^4 = 16
\]
Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is:
\[
f(5) = 16
\]
