Answer:
Joseph Stalin
Explanation:
Trotsky was a close second but Joseph Stalin had the military's support. To secure his power, Joseph Stalin exiled Trotsky and then had him assassinated.
The graph represents a geometric sequence 2exponential X, because as we can see:
2 exponential 1 equals 2
2 exponential 2 equals 4
2 exponential 3 equals 8
Therefore the intial value would be 1, 2 exponential 0 equals 1. As the graph shows a geometric sequence it is evident that the sequence should start from zero and should continue growing by 2 exponential x. It is a positive sequence becuse the graph is shown just in the positive part of the X and Y axis. But it could be infinite if you continue doing 2 exponential x.
We therefore assume that the sequence is just for the natural numbers from zero to infinite.
Answer: The focus shifted to America.
Explanation:
Europe was a significant trading periphery before the discovery of America in 1492. With the discovery of new trade routes and parts of the world, trade shifted to America. What remains the same is that the feeling of economic rivalry remained among European countries and even increased with the New World's discovery. During this period, the first forms of capitalism emerged, so the novelty was the exploitation of the resources of the new world like never before. The enormous amount of wealth continued to go to Europe, but the center of trade and economic activity was shifted to other parts of the world.
