Multiple Choice

Write the first six terms of the sequence beginning with the given term.Then calculate the first and second differences of the sequence.State whether the sequence has a linear model, a quadratic model, or neither. $\begin{array} { l } a _ { 0 } = 4 \\a _ { n } = \left( a _ { n - 1 } \right) ^ { 2 }\end{array}$
