POW 17
Problem Statement
Ok this POW is kind of odd compared to the others. You have to find the maximum pieces of pie you can make with a certain amount of cuts. There are three questions to this POW. You have to first do what i just stated, which is #1. you then have to try and find a pattern which is 2a. 2B is you have to use the pattern to find the largest possible number of pieces from 10 cuts. 2C is you have to explain why its happening. 3 is you have to find a rule.
Process
this time the process was pretty structured for me, since it wasnt as open ended as the last pow for the answers i just approached at trying to solve1-3. Since the first was what i started with and thats part of the solution (and thats all i originally aimed for) Im going straight to that.
