In the sequence (2,5,11,23,47,\ldots), each next term is double the previous term plus (1). What is the next term?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 95
The rule is: next term = twice the previous term + 1. Therefore, the term after 47 is \(2\times47+1=94+1=95\). Option 94 is only twice 47; it misses the required addition of 1. Exam tip: apply the stated rule directly to the last given term to verify the answer.
