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?

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
