We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .

For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .

For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .

Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .

Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

a_n=2^{n-1}+1

The answer would be am because it says 1/4 to midday and midday is 12 and 12 is when pm starts so it would be am. 

Hope this helps! :)
