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

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents
lutik1710 [3]

I'm assuming the function given is y = 9300(0.991)^x

If so, then the base of the exponent 0.991 is in the form 1+r

1+r = 0.991

r = 0.991-1

r = -0.009

The negative r value indicates a percent decrease.

Specifically it is a 0.9% decrease since 0.009 = 0.9/100 = 0.9%

Any time you have a percent decrease like this, the exponential function is undergoing decay.

What is B-CF?
Sholpan [36]

I'm guessing on the make up of the matrices.
First off let's look at [C][F].
[C]=
[F]=
[C][F]=
where each element of [C][F] comes from multiplying a row of [C] with a column of [F].
Example: First element is product of first row and first column.

.
.
.
Now that we have [C][F], we can subtract it from [B], element by element,


[B]-[C][F]=
[B]-[C][F]=
.
.
.
If this is not how the matrices look,please re-state the problem and be more specific about the make up of the matrices (rows x columns).
Here's an example.
[A] is a 2x2 matrix. A=[1,2,3,4].
The assumption is that [A] looks like this,
[A]=
[B] is a 3x2 matrix. B=[5,6,7,8,9,10]
[B]=

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

total charge=  $700 per concert

<u>solution</u>

If Fredrick receives $175 of that money, the balance will be

 $700-$175= $525

The balance will be shared by the 5 members

<em>Hence each of them will take</em>

525/5=$105
