Question

1 1 2 3 4 9 8 27 16 81 32 243 64 729..... we are asked to find the nth term in this series.

Answer 1

um............................................16?

Answer 2

You have to generalize the sequence and divide the sequence unto the parts.

Whether it is odd or even. so the odd value -2,4,8,16 and even -3 ,9,27,81 etc.

So odd  has the series  can  described  as power 2 and series can be described  a power of 3 . And 2(n+1)/2) is odd. And 3 (n/2).
