Write an explicit formula for the sequence :
A contestant on a game show wins $100 for answering a question correctly in Round 1. In each subsequent round, the contestant’s winnings are doubled if she gives a correct answer. If the contestant gives an incorrect answer, she loses everything.
A. Write an explicit formula that gives the contestant’s winnings in round n, assuming she answers all questions correctly.
A contestant on a game show wins $100 for answering a question correctly in Round 1. In each subsequent round, the contestant’s winnings are doubled if she gives a correct answer. If the contestant gives an incorrect answer, she loses everything.
B. How much does the contestant win in Round 10, assuming she answers all questions correctly?
