Question

How many kernels of corn will be in the bag on the 26 days

Answer 1

Notice that each day the number of kernels doubles, then we can model that behavior with the following equation:

$N=2^{n-1}.$

Where N is the number of kernels on the nth day.

Evaluating the above function at n=26 we get:

$N=2^{26-1}=2^{25}=33554432.$

Answer: 33554432.
