The numbers of teams remaining in each round of a single-elimination tennis tournament represent a geometric sequence where an i

s the number of teams competing and n is the round. There are 16 teams remaining in round 4 and 4 teams in round 6.
The explicit rule for the geometric sequence is:

Answer:

The geometric series is given by:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.

Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio.

The n^{th} term of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

There are 16 teams remaining in round 4 and 4 teams in round 6.

Thus, we can write:

a_4 = 16 = ar^3\\a_6 = 4 = ar^5

Dividing the two equations, we get,

\dfrac{16}{4}=\dfrac{ar^3}{ar^5}\\\\4=\dfrac{1}{r^2}\\r^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\r = \dfrac{1}{2}

Putting value of r in he equation we get:

16=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^2\\\\a = 16\times 2^3\\a = 128

Thus, the geometric sequence can be written as:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

What you do is you rearrange and simplify both equations to have them in terms of y, and then graph them. If it asked for a solution, their point of intersection would be the solution.

For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
