If 32 teams participate in a standard single elimination tournament, how many games must be played to decide a champion?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

<h3>Answer: 31 games</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

32/2 = 16 games will happen in round 1. Afterward, 16 teams are left.
16/2 = 8 games will happen in round 2. Afterward, 8 teams are left.
8/2 = 4 games happen in round 3.
4/2 = 2 games in round 4.
2/2 = 1 game as the final championship.

Count the number of times you divide by two and we have five occurrences of this. So there five rounds overall.

To get the total number of games played, we add up the quotients

16+8+4+2+1 = 31

----------------

Or as a shortcut we can simply subtract off 1 since 1+2+4+...+2^n = 2^(n+1)-1

We can write that rule as

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}2^k = 2^{n+1}-1$

which is equivalent to

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}2^{k-1} = 2^n-1$

In 1 minute I typed “It is as it was.” 8 times. So what is the dependent variable?

Elina [12.6K]

The dependent variable is the number of times you have typed. This is because time is the independent (x) variable as the number of times you've typed is the dependent (y) variable.

The sides of a rectangle are 3t - 2 and 5t + 7. Write an expression for the perimeter of the rectangle.

natka813 [3]

How does this have anything to do with factoring?
Perimeter of the rectangle would just be 2(3t-2)+2(5t+7)
Simplify that to get 6t-4+10t+14, then 16t+10
