A legend from India tells that a mathematician invented chess for a king. The king enjoyed the game so much he allowed the mathematician to demand any payment. The mathematician asked for one grain of rice for the first square on the chessboard, two grains of rice for the second square on the chessboard, four grains of rice for the third square on the chessboard, and so on. Find an exact expression for the total payment (in grains of rice) requested by the mathematician. Assuming there are 30,00030,000 grains of rice in 11 pound, and 20002000 pounds in 11 ton, how many tons of rice did the mathematician attempt to receive?

The following problems consider a simple population model of the housefly, which can be exhibited by the recursive formula xn+1=bxn,xn+1=bxn, where xnxn is the population of houseflies at generation n,n, and bb is the average number of offspring per housefly who survive to the next generation. Assume a starting population x0.x0.
