Bode's Sequence, Defined by Can Be Used to Approximate

question 40

Multiple Choice

Bode's sequence, defined by can be used to approximate distances of planets from the sun. These distances are measured in astronomical units, with 1 AU = 93,000,000 mi. For example, the third term corresponds to earth and the fifth term to the minor planet Ceres. Find the 5th term of the sequence.
