Homework for September 21st

Tonight's homework comes in two parts:

1.) Lesson 1.4 (15 - 63 odd) Be sure to read the lesson before completing these problems

2.) Teddy Bear Jump and Slide--Determine the number of moves it will take on level 5 (5 bears of a color on each side of the grid). For extra credit, find a pattern to help you determine the number of moves it would take you to move n bears on a side. Express this as a formula. Good luck!

A suggestion would be to arrange your data in a vertical chart, listing level number in the left column and number of moves in the right. This is a complicated pattern, but is something you can figure out with a little effort. The formula uses parantheses and exponents, if that's any help at all.
