Answer 7

Like the problem states, obtain a 8.5 * 11" sheet of paper (standard notebook paper/copy paper size)

keep folding it in half until you can't fold it anymore (should take somewhere around 6-8 folds before it becomes too hard to fold anymore)

fill the table and graph. at 0 folds, there should be 1 section (think of the whole sheet of paper as 1 section). every time you fold, the number of section doubles from 1, to 2, to 4, etc.

for the equation, plug your data into your calculator and determine the model (you can look up instructions for this online if you're stuck)

when it asks you to explain what the model means, you can talk about how it's in the form y = (a)b^x where a is the starting value, b is the exponential scale factor (should be approx 2 in this case)

for the different types of paper, think about how easy/hard it would be to fold wax paper/tissue compared to regular paper, and how that would change the model.
