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

Question 4 Given: f(x) = -3x – 3 and g(x) = x2 + 5 Find (f - g) ().​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

We get \mathbf{(f-g)(x)= -x^2-3x-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x) = -3x - 3\\ g(x) = x^2 + 5

We need to find (f-g)(x) (assuming there is x in the bracket, i.e. (f - g) () should be (f-g)(x))

We would simply subtract f(x) and g(x)

(f-g)(x)\\= -3x-3-(x^2+5)\\Multiply\:minus\:sign\:with\:terms\:inside\:the\:bracket\\=-3x-3-x^2-5\\Combining\:like\:terms:\\=-x^2-3x-3-5\\=-x^2-3x-8

So, We get \mathbf{(f-g)(x)= -x^2-3x-8}
