What is the next term in the sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16?

  1. 24

  2. 28

  3. 30

  4. 32

The correct answer is: 32

The sequence presented is a series of numbers where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Starting with the first term, 2, the second term is calculated as follows: - 2 multiplied by 2 equals 4. - 4 multiplied by 2 equals 8. - 8 multiplied by 2 equals 16. Following this pattern, the next term can be determined by multiplying the last known term (16) by 2: - 16 multiplied by 2 equals 32. Therefore, 32 is the next term in the sequence, confirming that it fits the established pattern of doubling. The other choices do not follow the doubling rule and therefore do not continue the sequence appropriately.
