Let \(Q_k\) be a quadratic form of the form \[ Q_k=(2x_1-1)^2+\dotsb+(2x_{t-1}-1)^2+4x_t^2+\dotsb+4x_{n-1}^2+4^{k+1}x_n^2, \] where \(n\geq 2\), \(t=2,\dotsc,n-1\), \(k=0,1,2,\dotsc\). Let \(M[m=Q_k(x)]\) be the number of representations of the natural number \(m\) by the quadratic form \(Q_k(x)\). The following formula is obtained \[ M[m=Q_k(x)]=\frac 1{2^k}M[m=Q_0(x)]+\sum_{j=0}^{k-1}\frac 1{2^{k-j}}\sum_{m=Q_j(x)}(-1)^{x_n}. \]
