Explanation

The pattern is: 32 + 17 = 49; 49 + 34 = 83; 83 + 68 = 151; 151 + 136 = 287; 287 + 272 = 559. The differences are 17, 34, 68, 136, 272. The next difference is 272 * 2 = 544. 559 + 544 = 1103.

AI explanation

The differences between the consecutive terms are 17, 34, 68, 136 and 272. This difference is multiplied by 2 each time, so the next difference is 272 times 2, which equals 544. Adding 544 to the last term gives 559 + 544 = 1103.
