Question

This is a little more of a bigger problem, but this honestly confuses me and I need a lot of assistance.. thanks

Answer 1

Explanation:

4. 16 players enter the tournament. f(0) = 16(1/2)° = 16

This is the value of y when x=0

5. After 4 rounds, 1 player is left. f(4) = 16(1/2)⁴ = 1

6. Rate of change = Δy/Δx = (4-8) / (2-1) = -4

f(1) = 16(1/2)¹ = 8

f(2) = 16(1/2)² = 4

The average rate of change between rounds 1 and 2 is 4, meaning 4 players are eliminated.
