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

board. On the second square the King would place two grains of​ wheat, on the third​ square, four grains of​ wheat, and on the fourth square eight grains of wheat. If the amount of wheat is doubled in this way on each of the remaining​ squares, how many grains of wheat should be placed on square 20? Also find the total number of grains of wheat on the board at this time and their total weight

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is 1 grain on square 1 , 2 on square 2, 4 on square 3  and so on. This is a geometric sequence with the nth term = a1r^(n - 1) where a1 = first term , r = common ratio.

So the 20th term  (the number of grains on square 20) would be

 1*2^(20-1)  = 524,288.

Total =   a1 * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

=  (2^20 - 1)  / 2-1 =  1.048,575

For which value of x is the equation 3(x+2)+x=2x+16 true?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3

3(x+2)+x

3x +6+x

2)put the answer you got into the question you were given

3x + 6+x =2x +16

3)group the x variables and the non x variables

3x +x -2x =16 -6

4) Now work the equation you have

3x+x-2x=16-6

4x-2x=16-6

2x=16-6

2x=10

5) you divide both sides by the x variable

2x=10

2x/2 =10/2

x=5

therefore x is 5

OI 00<br>R<br>b) From the given figure:<br>write the alternate<br>angle of angle RUN<br>P<br>$<br>2​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are defined as angles that are located in opposite positions when we look at them relative to a transverse line that intersects two horizontal lines.

Now, we want to find the alternate angle to angle RUN.

The same transverse line cuts the other horizontal line PQ at point O.

Therefore the alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU
