Look at the powers of 2.
0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Difference between terms is 1. First term is 0, so ‘zero’th term is -1. So the formula for this sequence is n - 1.
Look at the other sequence.
1, 3, 5, 7, ...
Difference between terms is 2. ‘Zero’th term is -1. So 2n - 1.
Put all together and you get 2^(n - 1) + 2n - 1.
0, 1, 2, 3, ...
