Explanation

The pattern is: 17 * 2 + 1 = 35; 35 * 3 + 1 = 106; 106 * 4 + 1 = 425; 425 * 5 + 1 = 2126; 2126 * 6 + 1 = 12757.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern where each term is multiplied by an increasing integer and then added to 4. The first term 17 is multiplied by 2 and added to 1 to get 35 (17 * 2 + 1 = 35). The second term 35 is multiplied by 3 and added to 1 to get 106 (35 * 3 + 1 = 106). Following this pattern, 106 is multiplied by 4 and added to 1 to get 425 (106 * 4 + 1 = 425). The missing term is calculated by multiplying 425 by 5 and adding 1, which results in 2126 (425 * 5 + 1 = 2126).
