Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice E.

Discussion:

Assuming that n >=1, a(n) = 4n -1, then

a(10) = 4(10) - 1 = 39    

but that doesn't match any of the answers...... hmm...

BUT

If you meant that a(n) = 4^(n-1),  then

a(10) = 4^(10-1) = 4^9 =  262144    

which is Choice E.

Thank you,

MrB
