We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.
We can write the terms of this sequence as

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

Therefore, the next term is 33.
Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

Answer:
6 gumballs can be stored in the gumball machine.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a gumball machine consists of a base and a glass sphere, and the gumballs are stored in the glass sphere, if each gumball has a diameter of 1.5 inches, to determine how many gumballs can be stored in a gumball machine whose glass sphere measures 10 inches in diameter, the following calculation must be made:
10 / 1.5 = X
6.666666 = X
Thus, 6 gumballs can be stored in the gumball machine.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.5(3x + 5) and -1.5x + 2.5
-0.5(3x + 5)...distribute the -0.5 thru the parenthesis
-1.5x - 2.5
no, these are not equivalent.... one is -1.5x + 2.5 and the other is -1.5x - 2.5....not the same
