#2312

Working with iteration to develop a formula.

A single line divides a plane into two regions. Two lines (by crossing) can divide a plane into four regions, three lines can divide it into seven regions. Let psubn be the max number of regions into which n lines divide a plane where n is a positive integer.


Solution Summary

This shows how to find the max number of regions divided in a plane.
