Answer:

3, 5, 9, 17, 33...

Explanation:

To find the right answer we just replace initial values for the given expression:


t_(n)=2^(n)+1

For
n=1:


t_(1)=2^(1)+1=2+1=3

For
n=2:


t_(2)=2^(2)+1=4+1=5

For
n=3:


t_(3)=2^(3)+1=8+1=9

So, based on these results, the third option is the correct answer, because replace the first three numbers, we had 3, 5, 9, which is in the third sequence.
