GEOMETRIC PROGRESSIONS

Heya !

In the story we got to know that the man put 2 grains of rice in first space of a chess board ,

4 grains on the second space of chess board

And 8 on the 3rd one and so on ,

So on noticing carefully , we see a Geometric Progression formed here ,

With first term a = 2
and common difference = 2

Now , we have to find the number of grains on the old man puts on the 10th space ,

I.e we have to find the 10th term of the given Geometric Progression ,

T10 = a {r}^{9} \\ T10= 2 \times {2}^{9} \\ \\ T10= {2}^{10} = 1024 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: Ans.

2) At the store Julie bought a shirt for $23.97, which was 25% off the original price. Which of these should she use to find x,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.75x = 23.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75.
