Answer: f(x) = 1,024(0.50)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply a decreasing rate formula:
f(x)= P (1 - r) ^x
Where:
p = original number of players
r = decreasing rate (decimal form, since half of the players are eliminated the percent decrease is 50%)
x = rounds
f(x) = number of players after x rounds
Replacing with the values given:
f(x) = 1,024(1-50/100)^x
f(x) = 1,024(1-0.5)^x
f(x) = 1,024(0.5)^x
