    The document describes two exponential growth experiments. The first involves cutting a sheet of paper in half multiple times and recording the number of sheets at each cut. A scatter plot of the data shows exponential growth. The second experiment involves throwing M&M's and recording the number remaining after removing those that show the letter "m" each throw. A scatter plot of this data also shows exponential growth, with the number of pieces halving each throw.

    Name ______________________ Introduction to Exponential Functions

    Date _______

    How many times would you have to cut a sheet of paper in half and stack the pieces in order to reach the moon??? Guess: __________
    1) Cut a sheet of paper in half. Stack the resulting pieces on top of each other and cut in half again. Continue this procedure at least 7 times. Complete the table below as you cut.

    Cut # Sheets

    0 1

    a) Make a scatter plot of the ordered pairs (cut #, number of sheets) Discuss the general shape of the data.

    b) Write an equation to model the line of best fit for the data. c) So, how many cuts would it take for the paper to reach the moon?

    2) Count the number of M&Ms in your cup and record this amount in the table by the throw number of 0. Shake your cup and throw M&Ms onto the plate gently. Remove all M&Ms that show the m. Count the number remaining and record on the table by the throw number 1. Continue the process always recording throw number and number of M&Ms until one remains. Throw # # of Pieces 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

    a) Make a scatter plot of the ordered pairs (throw #, number of pieces remaining) Discuss the general shape of the data.

    b) Write an equation to model the line of best fit for the data. c) In general how many pieces do you pull out with each throw?
