Write up on pow#7

ln this problem I first started by checking if 7 was the maximum number for 3 cuts by making
various diagrams. Then I did the same for 4, 5, and 6. I then struggled for a while and trying to
make the number of cuts from just that line in the table work to find the max cuts using an
equation. Then I finally came to trying to make the equation work with the next amount of cuts.

lt

tumed out that by addifrg the next amount of cuts to the previous maximum number of pieces that
it equaled the next maximum number of pieces.

Explanation for my an$ters:

I think that the reason why this works is because the number of max pieces increases by the

previousamountof cutsadding 1ontothenext. Sorryif thisdoesn'tmakealotof senseaskme
