Barack Obama was the 44th president
Every time teams play with each other (assuming there are no draws) half of them win
and the others get eliminated so
64÷2=32 32 games played and 32 teams eliminated
32÷2=16 16 games played and 16 teams eliminated
16÷2=8 the same goes here
8÷2=4 and here
4÷2=2 .
2÷2=1 .
32+16+8+4+2+1=63 games
We want our exponential function to look like
y = ab^x.
Let a = the initial y-value.
Our initial value is the first number given for f(x). So, a = 3.
Let b = the number that is needed to go from 3 to 6 to 12 to 24 to 48.
We find b by division.
So, b = the next number divided by the previous.
So, b = 6/3 = 2.
We now plug in our values into the general formula above.
y = ab^x
Answer: y = (3)(2)^x
