Question

can someone check my answer or that I did the steps correctly?
Amanda teaches the art of quilling to 4 students. These students each teach the art of quilling to 4 other students. If this process continues for 5 generations, How many people will know the art of quilling?
4+16+64+256+1024=1364
So answer would be 1364 would learn the art of quilling.

Answer 1

I don't think you got that right.

If I'm doing this correctly, each student teaches to 4 other students.

Generation 1 is 1 student to 4 other students, which is 4.

Generation 2 is 4 students to 4 students each, which is \(4^4\) or 256.
