A huge Ping-Pong tournament is held in Beijing with 65,536 participants at the start of the tournament. Each round of the tournament eliminates half the participants.
a.
If p(r) represents the number of participants remaining after r rounds of play, write a formula to model the
number of participants remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total number of participants in the tournament is 65,536 people, and the exponential decay is , using as the representative of the number of people after rounds, the formula to represent the model would be .

Step-by-step explanation:

Pet peeve of mine: let's call it  (read p sub r)since it's a representation over the natural numbers and not over .

Old man yelling at clouds moment gone, we know that the number of people gets halved every time so

At round 0, we do not halve, so

At round 1, we halve once, so

At round 2, we halve twice, so

At round 3, we halve three times, so

...

At round k, we halved k times, so

...

At round 16 we so we have a winner.

That allows us to write a formula. I personally find the last one to be the neater, but any of the three is formally correct.

step-by-step explanation:

i found the koficent of the linear function and i foun c acordind to the strict formula y=kx+c and then i took 2 as an x and replacet it on the formula i found and then foun the y

6 and 24

step-by-step explanation:

6 x 4 = 24
