Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0

When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = $1.26\times 10^{6}tons$

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = $a(r^{n-1})$
