Answer :

Since the terms of the sequence are increasing with large magnitudes (with a multiplicative factor of 4), it appears to be a geometric sequence.

As such, we have the first term to be:

[tex]a=44[/tex]

and the common ratio is:

[tex]r=\frac{176}{44}=4[/tex]

Now, given that the nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]T_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Thus, the fifth term is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} T_5=ar^{n-1} \\ T_5=(44)\times(4)^{5-1} \\ T_5=(44)\times(4)^4 \\ T_5=(44)\times(256) \\ T_5=11264 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Also, the sixth term is:
