You finally get an allowance! You put $2 away in January. $4 away in February. $8 away in March. $16 away, in April and followed this savings pattern through to December. How much money do you have in 12 months?

2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 +64 + 128 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096 = 8190

Step-by-step explanation:

You also happen to be the luckiest kid in the world to have such rich parents to give such a high allowance.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
