Understanding the Number Sequence Pattern
The question asks us to find the next number in the given sequence: 5, 11, 23, 47, ?.
To solve this, we need to identify the pattern or rule that generates the sequence.
Identifying the Pattern
Let's examine the relationship between consecutive terms:
- From 5 to 11: The difference is \(11 - 5 = 6\).
- From 11 to 23: The difference is \(23 - 11 = 12\).
- From 23 to 47: The difference is \(47 - 23 = 24\).
We observe that the differences themselves are doubling: 6, 12, 24. This suggests a pattern involving multiplication.
Let's test a potential pattern where each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding 1:
- First term: 5
- Second term: \((5 \times 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11\). This matches the sequence.
- Third term: \((11 \times 2) + 1 = 22 + 1 = 23\). This also matches the sequence.
- Fourth term: \((23 \times 2) + 1 = 46 + 1 = 47\). This matches the sequence as well.
The pattern seems to be: \(Next Term = (Previous Term \times 2) + 1\).
Calculating the Missing Number
Using the identified pattern, we can calculate the next number in the sequence after 47:
- Next Term = \((47 \times 2) + 1\)
- Next Term = \(94 + 1\)
- Next Term = \(95\)
Conclusion
The number that will be present in place of the question mark is 95.
