What is the next number in the following sequence?
The next number in the sequence 2, 6, 14, 30 is 62. 

This sequence follows a pattern where each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding 2. 

Starting with 2, 
- the next number is (2 x 2) + 2 = 6
- the next number after 6 is (6 x 2) + 2= 14
- the next number after 14 is (14 x 2) + 2 = 30
- so, the next number after 30 would be (30 x 2) + 2 = 62.
2, 6, 14, 30

### Instruction:
What is the next number in the following sequence?

### Input:
2, 6, 14, 30

### Response:
The next number in the sequence 2, 6, 14, 30 is 62. 

This sequence follows a pattern where each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding 2. 

Starting with 2,
