What is the sequence 1 2 5 14 41?

Answer 1

1 2 5 14 41

Since every term is expressed with respect to the immediately preceding term, this is a recursive sequence, where t1 = 1 and tn+1 = 3tn - 1, n = 1, 2, 3, ...

t1 = 1
t2 = 3(1) - 1 = 2
t3 = 3(2) - 1 = 5
t4 = 3(5) - 1 = 14
t5 = 3(15) - 1 = 41
next
t6 = 3(41) - 1 = 122
