Geometric Sequences · Example 6
A player places one grain of rice on the first square of a chess board. On the second square, the player places 2 grains of rice. On the third square, the player places 4 grains of rice. On each successive square of the board, the player doubles the number of grains of rice placed on the chess board. When the player places the last rice on the 64th square, how many total grains of rice have been placed on the board?
