Round 1 of a tennis tournament starts with 64 players. After each round, half of the players have lost and are eliminated from the tournament. Therefore, in round 2 there are 32 and in round 3 there are 16 players and so on. Can this relationship be modeled by a linear function? Provide evidence to support your claim.

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x,y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
