COMMENTS
Similar sequences can be constructed for mean of first powers, giving A001477, for mean of first two powers, giving A000217, and for mean of first six powers, giving A059721. Next similar sequence seems to be for mean of first 1806 powers.
FORMULA
a(n) = n*(n^42-1)/(42*(n-1)).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = (2 + 4 + 8 + ... + 4398046511104)/42 = 8796093022206/42 = 209430786243.
