Question

Numeric pattern 3, 5, 11, 21, 43 next term:
a) 86
b) 85
c) 84
d) 87

Answer 1

The next term in the sequence is 87.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pattern follows a specific rule: each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2 and then adding 1. So, given the last term in the sequence, we can find the next term by using this rule.

1. First, we start with the last term in the sequence, which is 43.
2. We multiply 43 by 2 to get 86.
3. Then we add 1 to 86 to get the next term, which is 87.

Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 87.
