Observe the sequence 6, 7, 9, 13, 21, then fill in the rule on the horizontal line (that is, the next number)

Observe the sequence 6, 7, 9, 13, 21, then fill in the rule on the horizontal line (that is, the next number)

six
7=6+1
9=7+2
13=9+4
21=13+8
It can be observed that the following addends are: 1,2,4,8, which are all to the power of 2
So, the next number should be the previous number plus 16
That is: 37 = 21 + 16
A: the next number is 37
