Pattern:
5 x 4 +1 =21
21 x 4 +1 = 85
85 x 4 + 1 = 341

Answer: the previous number multiplied by four and added to one.

Step-by-step explanation: a pattern is a particular way in which something is done, is organized, or happens, it is also something that is repeated. A number pattern is a list of numbers that follows certain rules or sequence. In the given list, we can see that each number is the previous one multiplied by four and added to one:

(5*4)+1=21

(21*4)+1=85

(85*4)+1=341
