Tarea 2
Joey creates the pattern 2, 6, 18, 54… How many branches are added in each step? What would the new pattern be if 4 branches are added in each step instead?
Tarea 3
Joey creates the pattern 1, 5, 25, 125... Instead of starting with 1 branch Joey starts with 2 branches. What is the new pattern?
Tarea 4
Suppose the pattern 32,16, 8, ... was modeled using a tree. Describe the kind of tree that would be needed.
