Sure. The rule says that "The 'n'th term is 2^n + 1. "
You're asked to find the 5th term, so plug '5' into the rule in place of 'n'.
The 5th term = 2^5 + 1
2^5 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
The 5th term = 32 + 1 = 33 .
To find the 25th term of the sequence defined by the rule 2 n + 1 , plug in 25 for n to get a 25 = 2 25 + 1 . After calculating, the result is 33554433 .
