Answer:

20.5 and 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

Answer:

larry is incorrect because the number 2 is not a composite number, although numbers 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, and 92 are composite, 2 isn't

The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is

Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

$r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2$

r2=(third term)/(second term)

$r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2$

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

$r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2$

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

$r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2$

we can see that all four ratios are same

$r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2$

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

$r=2$

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

$a_1=2$

now, we can use formula

$a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}$

we can plug values

and we get

$a_n=2(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n}$ ..................Answer

A class of 40 students elected a class president. There were 12 votes for Candidate A, and 18 votes for Candidate B.

Helen [10]

Hey there, Bulgogi!

The correct answer will be the first one since [I'm assuming] you know that to calculate the percentage of something, it's the amount of that something divided by the total amount but since only 30 students voted [12+18] multiplied by 100.

So, we are calculating the percentage on votes and 12 students voted for Candidate A so our Numerator will be 12 and our Denominator will be the total amount of student who voted, so 30 [or 12+18]

Once put into a fraction, we will get $\frac{12}{12+18}$ which would be equals to 2/5 or 0.4. Now we multiply by 100 and we get a total of 40% for Candidate A.

Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!

HELP PLSSSSS Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle. The angle bisectors and the perpendicular bisectors meet at D in such a wa

vazorg [7]

CE = CD + DE = 2DE + DE = 3DE = 8.7

DE = 8.7/3 = 2.9
CD = 2DE = 5.8

For the inscribed circle, where center is point D. The radius is length DE.
This is because the circle will touch the 3 points where the bisectors intersect with sides of triangle.
radius = 2.9

For circumscribed circle, the center will also be point D. The radius is CD.
The circle will touch 3 points of triangle, A,B,C.
radius = 5.8
