How do I quadruple numbers after I start with 1 and then 2 to come up
with 4,
8, etc.?


Hi

You need to raise the number to the power of using the exponentiation
symbol ^

However, you can't start with 1 as
1^4 = 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 which = 1

2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Roger,

You need to look up the term 'quadruple' in your dictionary. To quadruple a
number you make it 4 times as big NOT raise it to the 4th power.

To answer the question you do the following:-

A B
1 =4*A1
2 =4*A2
3 =4*A3
4 =4*A4
5 =4*A5

etc until you reach the end of the numbers that you wish to quadruple.
