Given the function notation for the explicitly defined sequence f(n)=2^n−1

Question

, find the fifth term of the sequence.(1 point)
f(5)=

Answer 1

To find the fifth term of the sequence defined by the function \( f(n) = 2^n - 1 \), we need to substitute \( n = 5 \) into the function.

\[ f(5) = 2^5 - 1 \]

Calculating \( 2^5 \):

\[ 2^5 = 32 \]

Now substituting that value into the equation:

\[ f(5) = 32 - 1 = 31 \]

Thus, the fifth term of the sequence is

\[ f(5) = 31. \]
