b.Ê Developmental Activities
1.Ê Motivation ± Brain Veaser
Every person has 2 biological parents. Each parent has 2 parents, so every person has
4 grandparents. Each grandparent has 2 parents, so every person has r great
grandparents. How many great-great grandparents does every person have?

 ACTIVITY 1: Modeling of an Exponential Function ± Paper Folding

Name: _______________________________________ Section: _________________________

ëaeral: large piece of paper
Prcedure:
1.Ê Fold a large rectangular piece of paper in half. Unfold it and record how many sections are formed by the creases. Refold the
paper.
2.Ê Fold the paper in half again. Record how many sections are formed by the creases. Refold the paper.
3.Ê Continue folding in half and recording the number of sections until you can no longer fold the paper.
4.Ê How many folds can you make?
5.Ê How many sections were formed?
 .Ê Make a table of values describing the relation between x and y. Let x be the number of folds and y be the number of sections
made.

X 0 1 2 3 4 5   7 r
Y

ude Quen:

1.Ê Can you predict the number of sections if you fold it for the 7th time? rth time? 9th time?
2.Ê What is the relation between the number of folds and the number of sections made?
3.Ê Look at the elements of the range (y), what kind of sequence is formed?
4.Ê What is the common ratio?
5.Ê What equation will describe the table?
 .Ê What equation will describe the next table?
X 0 1 2 3 4
Y 1 3 9 27 r1
7.Ê Based on the two equations and tables, express the relation between x and y in a sentence (equation).
