    Your first question you have wrong. You are supposed to multiply by 5 each time, not by 2.

    The other questions look OK. 

    Don't forget to vote me best answer for being the first to correctly answer you contrary to the other respondents.

    They all look correct. I think you are getting the concepts now, right?

    Update:

    rotchm is correct, you accidentally switched to multiplying by 2 instead of 5. The first two terms are correct.

    a[1] = 2

    a[2] = 2*5 = 10

    But the subsequent terms should have been:

    a[3] = 10*5 = 50

    a[4] = 50*5 = 250

    Good catch on his/her part! I completely missed that.
