That took like 20 seconds to do quickly and I can see from these sequences and, **by quickly surveying the answer choices** that there is something going on with powers of 2. I notice that the increases from Xn to Xn+1 move by a power of two related to Xn. The sequence can be written as:
Xn = Xn-1 + 2^(n-1) (you can quickly check that that works as well starting at X1)
So, to solve the problem X20 - X19, I'll use that formula to solve
X20 = X19 + 2^19 and then subtract X19 without having to expand it gives me:
