Find the first 4 terms of the recursively defined sequence.
-$$a _ { 1 } = 4 , a _ { n } + 1 = \left( a _ { n } \right) ^ { 2 }$$
A) $4,8,16,32$
B) $4,16,64,256$
C) $4,4,9,16$
D) $4,16,256,65,536$

The sequence starts with $a_1 = 4$. Each subsequent term is the square of the previous term. So, $a_2 = 4^2 = 16$, $a_3 = 16^2 = 256$, and $a_4 = 256^2 = 65,536$.
