Question 33 • DHS Algebra 2 V

The last square of the chessboard is square 64.How many pennies are on square 64?

Answer
A
2^61
B
2^62
C
2^63

Explanation

If the number of pennies doubles on each square, square 1 has 1 penny, or 2^0. Each next square adds one to the exponent, so square 64 has 2^(64−1) = 2^63 pennies. The correct choice is 2^63.
