    For the given sequence, we can note that:

    when we multiply a previous term by 1/4, we get the next term where:

    2 * 1/4 = 1/2

    1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

    1/8 * 1/4 = 1/32

    Therefore, we can say that our sequencer here (r) is equal to 1/4

    The general formula to represent this sequence is:

    an = a1 * r^ (n-1) where:

    an represent the nth term that we want to find

    a1 represents the first term in the sequence = 2

    r is the sequencer = 1/4

    n represents the order of the term in the sequence

    Based on the above, the equation will be:

    an = 2 * (1/4) ^ (n-1)
