A sheet of paper is cut into 2 same-size parts. Each of the parts is then cut into 2 same-size parts and so on. a. After the 6th cut, how many of the smallest pieces of paper are there? b. After the nth cut, how many of the smallest pieces of paper are there? a. There are nothing of the smallest pieces of paper after the 6th cut. (Type your answer using exponential notation.

c.

step-by-step explanation:

substitution for (0,1)

y=x^2+4x+1

1=0^2+4(x)0+1

1=0+4(x)0+1

1=4(x)0+1

1=0+1

1=1

substitution for (-3,-2)

y=x+1

-2=-3+1

-2=-2

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
