Hey there! I'm happy to help out!

As you can see, our number keeps on doubling. It's like 2×2×2×2.... so on and so forth. Whenever we multiply a number by itself, we can model it as an exponent, so if we had 2², it is two twos being multiplied, and 2×2=4. If it was 2³, it would be 2×2×2=8.

However, we have a one. This signifies a starting point and exponents have our back. Anything to the 0th power is always equal to one! So, this situation would look something like this:

2^0, 2^1, 2^2, 2^3,2^4,... etc.

So, for the second square, we are going to the first power. For the fourth square it's going to the third power. Therefore, the 10th square will be the 9th power!

2^9= 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2= 512

However, we want to find how much he has done in total! So, let's find how much he did on the other squares!

2^8= 256

2^7=128

2^6=64

2^5=32

2^4=16

2³=8

2²=4

2^1=2

2^0=1

Now, we add these all up to find the total grains of rice!

512+256+64+32+16+8+4+2+1=895

Therefore, George has placed a total of 895 grains of rice on the chess board.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

sattari [20]

Answer:

Let m be the number of muffins.

a) 4m <= 30

b) m <= 7.5, so the maximum number of muffins to buy is 7.

c) $4 × 7 = $28, so $2 will be left over.

ella [17]

Answer:

17 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are some students playing soccer.

Five students decided to join the game and now there are twenty-two students playing soccer.

Question asked:

How many students were originally playing soccer?

Solution:

Let initially number of students playing soccer = x

As given,

<u>After joining 5 more students, there are 22 students playing soccer, the equation will be:-</u>

x+5=22

Subtracting both side by 5

x+5-5=22-5\\x=17\ students

Hence, 17 students were originally playing soccer.

A(3,4) and B(-3,2) are pointd on a coordinate plane. find the coordinate of a points C on the x axis such that AC=BC​
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the game plan. In order to find a point on the x-axis that makes AC = BC, we need to find the midpoint of AB and the slope of AB. From there, we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB so we can then fit a 0 in for y and solve for x. This final coordinate will be the answer you're looking for. First and foremost, the midpoint of AB:

and

Now for the slope of AB:

and

 So if the slope of AB is 1/3, then the slope of a line perpendicular to that line is -3. What we are finding now is the equation of the line perpendicular to AB and going through (0, 3):

and filling in:

y - 3 = -3(x - 0) and

y - 3 = -3x + 0 and

y - 3 = -3x so

y = -3x + 3. Filling in a 0 for y will give us the coordinate we want for the x-intercept (the point where this line goes through the x-axis):

0 = -3x + 3 and

-3 = -3x so

x = 1

The coordinate on the x-axis such that AC = BC is (1, 0)
