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:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
3 out of 12 is 1/4, or 0.25, so if you divide 180 by 4, then using the same logic, you can expect 45 kids to have played last year.
3 = 1/4 OR .25 of 12, 12 divided by 4 = 3
180 divided by 4 = 45
The answer is 3/10 ( hope this helps)
