(-1)x x2
I used -1 so my graph will always be oscillating. When you multiply -1 by
and an even number, they will always be positive. And if you multiply -1
by an odd number it will always be negative.
(-1)x
This part of the equation will define if the column goes upwards
or downwards.
(-1)45 452
-1 to the power of 45 is -1, which shows that the number and column is
negative. And 45 to the power of two is 2,025. So when we multiply -1 by
2,025, we get -2,025, which shows that the column of the 45 height is
negative and has -2,025 cubes.
Another example that will give us a positive result will be calculating the
80th height.
So
(-1)80 802
-1 to the power of 80 is 1, which shows that the number and the column
will be positive. 80 to the power of 2 is 6,400, so when we multiply 1 by
6,400 we get 6,400, which shows that the 80th height will be positive and
it will have 6,400 cubes.
Second Part
3. Make two jumps of one step and then two of two steps.
4. Make four jumps of one step and then one of two steps.
5. Make a Jump of two steps, then two jumps of one step and
then two steps.
7. Make one jump of one, then two of two steps and then one
jump of one.
These are all the possible ways Freddie can jump up to six steps, if he
could jump one or two steps at a time.
If we change the rules and Freddie can also jump three steps at a time,
this will be the results.

11.
Make a jump of three steps, then one of two steps
and one jump of one step.
12.
13.
Make one jump of one step, then one of two steps and
one jump of three steps.
14.
Make one jump of two steps, then one jump of
three steps and one jump of one step.
15. Make one jump of two steps, then one jump of one step
and one of three steps.
16.
Finally another rule we could use would be if Freddie could only jump six
steps!
