Explanation

The pattern is 2*2+1=5, 5*2+1=11, 11*2+1=23, 23*2+1=47.

AI explanation

This series follows a pattern where the difference between consecutive terms doubles each time, starting with a difference of 3. The difference between 23 and the next term must be 12 doubled, which is 24. Adding 23 and 24 gives the next term as 47.
