We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\

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

2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

a_n=2^{n-1}+1

The measure of one of the small angles of a right triangle is 15 less than twice the measure of the other small angle. Find the
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

35° and 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a right rectagle is 180°, with a right angle of 90°.

The tell us that A = 2B-15, so:

180° = 90° + A + B

180° = 90° + 2B - 15 + B

180° - 90° + 15 = 2B + B

105° = 3B

B = 105°/3 = 35°

Now, let's find A:

A = 180° - 90° - 35° = 55°

Help please! 10 points!
IgorC [24]

Answer:

21.6 or 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have same angles. This means that they are proportion.

50/27 = 40/x

when you cross multiply to solve x, 50x = 1080

so x = 21.6

If you have to nearest whole number, it will be 22

Hi can someone help me out with this problem.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

third side = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let the third side be x, then

x² + 40² = 41², that is

x² + 1600 = 1681 ( subtract 1600 from both sides )

x² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{81} = 9

The third side is 9
