1. What is the general term formula for 3; 5; 11; 21; 43; 85; 171?

The general term formula is: an + 2 = 2An + 1 + an-2an-1, where n ≥ 2, N + 2, N + 1, N, n-1 are subscripts. The solution is to let A1 = 1, A2 = 3, A3 = 5, A4 = 11, A5 = 21, A6 = 43, A7 = 85, a8 = 171, (A1 represents the first term in the sequence, 1 is subscript, the numbers next to B and C also represent subscript, and so on) and then let B1 =
