Answer:
<em>Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that this equation is represented by compound interest, in other words an exponential function, either being exponential growth or exponential decay;
f ( x ) = a + ( b )^x, where a ⇒ start value, b ⇒ constant, x ⇒ ( almost always considered ) time, but in this case rounds
Option A; The equation is given to be t ( x ) = 128 * ( 1/2 )^x. Given by the above, 128 should represent the start value, hinting that the tournament <em>did indeed begin with 128 teams</em>
Option B; As the rounds increase the number of teams approach 128. Now mind you 128 is the start value, not the end value, which would mean that <em>this statement is false</em>
Option C; The tournament began with 1/2 teams. Theoretically that would not be possible, but besides that the tournament began with 128 teams, only differed by 1/2 times as much every round. <em>This statement is thus false</em>
Option D; This situation actually represents exponential decay. If each round the number of teams differed by 1/2 times as much, the number of teams remaining is less than before, and thus this models exponential decay, not growth<em> ( statement is false )</em>
<em>Answer : Option A; the tournament did begin with 128 teams</em>
Answer:
Bus speed: 22 mph; Trolley speed: 14 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let rb represent the speed of the bus and rt the speed of the trolley. Then rb = rt + 8 (mph).
Recall that distance = rate times time. Two different distances and two different speeds are involved here, but only one time.
Thus,
60 mi 44 mi
--------------------- = time (same in both cases) = -------------
rt + 8 mi/hr rt
Cross-multiplying, we get 44rt + 8(44) = 60 rt, or
352 = 16rt.
Solving this for rt, we get rt = speed of bus = 352/16 = 22 mph
The speed at which the bus travels is 22 mph and that at which the trolley travels is (22 mph - 8 mph) = 14 mph
You need to first calculate the amount of lost money, which is 86-60.2=25.8 To find the discount, you need to put this over the initial price, or 86. This equals 0.3, which is 30 percent.
