• First term: \(a_1 = 4\)
• The common ratio: \(q = 2\)

Find the sum formula \(S_n\).
Explanation:
Solution – Geometric Sequence:

📝 Important formulas:
\(a_n = a_1 \cdot q^{n-1}\)
\(S_n = \frac{a_1(q^n - 1)}{q - 1}\) (when \(q \neq 1\))
\(S_\infty = \frac{a_1}{1-q}\) (when \(|q| < 1\))
🔢 Solution:
The formula for the sum of n terms:

\(S_n = \frac{4(2^n - 1)}{2 - 1} = \frac{4(2^n - 1)}{1}\)
Answer: \(\frac{4(2^n - 1)}{1}\)
