Complete Question:

There are 8 rows and 8 columns, or 64 squares on a chessboard.

Suppose you place 1 penny on Row 1 Column A,

2 pennies on Row 1 Column B,

4 pennies on Row 1 Column C, and so on …

Determine the number of pennies in Row 1

Determine the number of pennies on the entire chessboard?

Answer:

255 in the first row

18,446,744,073,709,551,615 in the entire board

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rows = 8

Columns = 8

Solving (a): Number of pennies in first row

The question is an illustration of geometric sequence which follows

1,2,4....

Where

a =1 --- The first term

Calculate the common ratio, r

r = \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

The number of pennies in the first row will be calculated using sum of n terms of a GP.

S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{n - 1}

Since, the first row has 8 columns, then

n = 8

Substitute 8 for n, 2 for r and 1 for a in S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}

S_8 = \frac{1 * (2^8 - 1)}{2 - 1}

S_8 = \frac{1 * (256 - 1)}{1}

S_8 = \frac{1 * 255}{1}

S_8 = 255

Solving (b): The entire board has 64 cells.

So:

n = 64

Substitute 64 for n, 2 for r and 1 for a in S_n = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}

S_{64} = \frac{1 * (2^{64} - 1)}{2 -1}

S_{64} = \frac{(2^{64} - 1)}{1}

S_{64} = \frac{(18,446,744,073,709,551,616 - 1)}{1}

S_{64} = \frac{18,446,744,073,709,551,615}{1}

S_{64} = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615

Write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-10,17) and (5,-4)
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = 7/5 x + 31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m =(-4-17)/(5- -10)

   = -21/(5+10)

  = 21/15

Divide the top and bottom by 3.

  = 7/5

The slope is 7/5.


Using the point slope form of the equation,

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-17 = 7/5 (x--10)

y-17 = 7/5(x+10)

Distribute the 7/5 ths.

y-17 = 7/5 x + 7/5*10

y-17 = 7/5 x +14

Add 17 to each side

y = 7/5 x + 14 + 17

y = 7/5 x + 31


This is in slope intercept form, with the slope  being 7/5 and the y intercept of 31

Solve for x on the interval [0, 2pi]<br> Sinx = cosx + 1
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

π

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x on the interval [0, 2pi]

Given the equation

Sinx = cosx + 1

Square both sides of the equation

Sin²x = (cos x + 1)²

Sin²x = cos²x + 2cos x + 1

Since Sin²x = 1 - cos²x

1 - cos²x = cos²x + 2cos x + 1

Collect like terms

1-1-cos²x-cos²x-2cos x  = 0

-2cos²x-2cos x = 0

-2cos²x = 2cos x

-cosx = 1

cos x = -1

x = arccos -1

x = 180 degrees

<em>Hence the value of x = π</em>

Sales staff in a particular jewelry store makes $200 each week +5% of the sales which point describes the amount of money to sta
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Total amount paid to staff = $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weekly payment = $200

Commission = 5% on sales

Amount of jewelry = $1,000

Find:

Total amount paid to staff

Computation:

Total amount paid to staff = Weekly payment + Commission

Total amount paid to staff = $200 + $1,000(5%)

Total amount paid to staff = $200 + $50

Total amount paid to staff = $250
