Question

Given the function notation for the explicitly defined sequence f(n)=2^n−1 , 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 evaluate \( f(5) \).

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

Calculating \( 2^5 \):

\[ 2^5 = 32 \]

Now, substituting back into the equation:

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

Therefore, the fifth term of the sequence is:

\[ \boxed{31} \]
