Explanation

The pattern is 11*2+3=25, 25*2+3=53, 53*2+3=109, 109*2+3=221, 221*2+3=445.

AI explanation

The pattern involves multiplying the previous term by 2 and then adding 3 to find the next term. We calculate 11 * 2 + 3 = 25, 25 * 2 + 3 = 53, 53 * 2 + 3 = 109, and 109 * 2 + 3 = 221. Applying this to the last term, we compute 221 * 2 + 3, which equals 442 + 3, giving the result 445.
