A geometric sequece begins...

8,16,32,64...

 

Let x be 53rd term in this sequence. Compute log2(x)

 

Pls solve I am confused!!! Thank you!

log_2(x) = 58.

We can rewrite the geometric series as: 23,24,25,26,..., where the power is the nth term + 2.

 

This means that x = x=253+2=255

 

Thus, we have log2(255)

 

This is the same as: 2y=255, where y is our final answer. Can you take it from here?
