Answer:
1023
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] S_n = \dfrac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r} [/tex]
a = first term
r = common ratio
n = number of terms
Here we have
a = 1
r = 2
n = 10
[tex] S_{10} = \dfrac{1(1 - 2^{10})}{1 - 2} [/tex]
[tex] S_{10} = \dfrac{1 - 1024}{-1} [/tex]
[tex] S_{10} = \dfrac{-1023}{-1} [/tex]
[tex] S_{10} = 1023 [/tex]
Of course, since 10 is not such a large number of terms, you can simply do this:
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 + 256 + 512 = 1023
