In a certain company, there were five candidates running for President. After the vots were tallied, it turned out that Victor,

like in the election, finished in thir place, and david beat him. Greg said that he didn't come in first, but he also didn't come in last. Mac in an interview, said that in this election he wasn't able to win, but at least he was one place hight than his old rival Bill. What place did each candidate come in?

Considering the situation described, the classification of the elections is given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

<h3>How to find the classification of the elections?</h3>

We take the situation that is described, and build the classification from it. The classification has the following format:

P1 - P2 - P3 - P4 - P5

With P1 being the first placed candidate, P2 being the second placed candidate, and so on until P5 which is the fifth placed candidate.

From the text given in this problem, we have that:

  • Victor finished in third place, and David beat him, hence P3 = Victor, David = P1 or P2.
  • Greg didn't come in first nor in last, hence, considering that Victor is P3, Greg = P2 or P4.
  • Mac didn't win, but he finished higher than Bill, hence, considering that Mac didn't win and that Victor is P3, Mac = P4, Bill = P5.
  • From the bullet points above, we can conclude that David = P1, Greg = P2.

Hence the places of each candidate are given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

13) The product is a name for the answer to a multiplication question.
6.65*10,000
=66500 (the decimal point moved 4 places to the right (you're multiplying) since they're 4 zeros in 10,00)

15) The quotient is a name for the answer to a division question.
2.374/100
=0.02374 ( the decimal point moved 2 places to the left ( you're dividing) since they're 2 zeros in 100)

Hope this helps! A thanks/brainiest answer would be appreciated :)

Select True or False for each statement. 16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second. ? 16.32 rounded to the
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

a)16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second? True

b) 16.32 rounded to the nearest tenth is 16.3.? True

c) 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33. ? False

Step-by-step explanation:

Select True or False for each statement.

a) 16.32 rounded to the nearest whole number is 16 feet per second. ?

16.32 to nearest whole number = 16 feet per second. This statement above is true.

b) 16.32 rounded to the nearest tenth is 16.3. ?

The number in the tenth position is 3, the number after it is 2.

Hence, 16.32 to the nearest tenth = 16.3

Hence, the above statement is true.

c) 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33. ?

The number in the hundredth position is 2. There is no number after 2.

Hence,

16.32 to the nearest hundredth is 16.32

Hence, 16.32 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 16.33 is a false statement.

2,-10,50,-250,.. Geometric sequence
nikklg [1K]

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question

What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence 2, -10, 50, -250, .... ?

The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:

a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the recursive formula for a geometric sequence:

  1. Determine if the sequence is geometric (Do you multiply, or divide, the same amount from one term to the next?)
  2. Find the common ratio. (The number you multiply or divide.)
  3. Create a recursive formula by stating the first term, and then stating the formula to be the common ratio times the previous term.

The recursive formula is:

a_{1} = first term;  a_{n} = r • a_{n-1}  , where

  • a_{1} is the first term in the sequence
  • a_{n-1} is the term before the nth term  
  • r is the common ratio

∵ The geometric sequence is 2 , -10 , 50 , -250

∴ a_{1} = 2

- To find r divide the 2nd term by the first term

∵ r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

∴ r=\frac{-10}{2}=-5

- Substitute the values of a_{1} and r in the formula above

∴  a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}

The recursive formula for this geometric sequence is:

a_{1} = 2; a_{n} = (-5) • a_{n-1}
