    The document describes a math problem where coins are placed on successive squares of a chessboard, with 1 cent on the first square and doubling the amount on each subsequent square. It is asked how much money would be on the 18th square. Two responses provide the step-by-step work: place 1 cent on the first square, 2 cents on the second, then use the formula nth square = 1 * 2^(n-1) to determine that the 18th square would contain 131,072 cents.

    First square = 1 cent


    Second square = 2 cents

    The coins are doubled on the next square:


    1st square = 1
    2nd square = 1 x 2 = 2
    3rd square = 1 x 2² = 4
    4th square = 1 x 2³ = 8

    therefore the nth square = 1 x 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾


    nth square = 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

    Find the 18th square:


    18th square = 2⁽¹⁸⁻¹⁾
    18th square = 2¹⁷
    18th square = 131,072

    Answer: There are 131,072 cents on the 18th square

    1 st square = 1cent

    2nd square=2 cents

    coins doubled

    1st square=1

    2nd square=1*2=2

    3rd square=1*2^2=4

    4th square=1*2^3=8

    therefore nth square = 1*2^(n-1)

    2^(n-1)

    hence 18 th square

    = 2^(n-1)

    = 2^(18-1)

    2^17

    = 131072.

    hope it helps
