A phone tree is used to contact families at Paul’s school. The secretary calls 4 families. Then each family calls 4 other families, and so on. How many families will be notified during the fourth round of calls?
11 Understand the Problem
The answer will be the number of families called in the 4th round.
List the important information:
• The secretary calls 4 families.
• Each family calls 4 families.
Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application
1-2 Exponents
You can draw a diagram to see how many calls are in each round.
22 Make a Plan
Secretary
1st round–4 calls
2nd round–16 calls
1-2 Exponents
Solve33Notice that in each round, the number of calls is a power of 4.
1st round: 4 calls = 4 = 41
2nd round: 16 calls = 4 4 = 42
So during the 4th round, there will be 44 calls. 44 = 4 4 4 4 = 256
During the 4th round of calls, 256 families will be notified.

1-2 Exponents
Solve33Notice that in each round, the number of calls is a power of 3.
1st round: 3 calls = 3 = 31
2nd round: 9 calls = 3 3 = 32
So during the 4th round, there will be 34 calls. 34 = 3 3 3 3 = 81
During the 4th round of calls, 81 families will be notified.
