Start with a circle. If you make 1 cut, you have 2 pieces. If you make 2 cuts, you have a pieces. If you make 3 cuts, you can have a maximum of 7 pieces.
1. Draw a picture to show how 3 cuts can give 7 pieces.
2. Find the maximum number of pieces you can get from 4 cuts.
3. From 5 cuts.
4. Can you find a function that gives the maximum number of pieces from n cuts?

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)  

a - base

b - exponent

so,
