2. James folds a piece of paper in half several times, each time unfolding the paper to count how
many equal parts he sees. After folding the paper about six times, it becomes too difficult to fold it
again but he is curious how many parts the paper would be broken into if he could continue to fold it.
He decides to employ the modeling cycle to predict how many parts the paper would be folded into
if he were able to fold it 11 times.
Part B: What type of function models this context? How do you know?
linear
function because there is a common
Part C: Find the function that models the table.
V
Part D: Use the function to predict the number of equal parts that the paper would be folded into if it
were possible to fold it 11 times.
