Answer:256
Step-by-step explanation:
To get from 1 to 4, you multiply by 4 (1 * 4 = 4).
To get from 4 to 16, you multiply by 4 again (4 * 4 = 16).
To get from 16 to 64, you multiply by 4 once more (16 * 4 = 64).
The pattern here is clear: each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 4.
So, to find the next term in the sequence, you simply multiply the last term (64) by 4:
64 * 4 = 256
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is indeed 256.
