Question

There are 2,000 players in a basketball tournament. In each round, half of the players are eliminated. Which function can be used to find the number of players remaining in the tournament at the end of x rounds?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Left = 2000 * (1/2)^x

Try it.

x = 1

Left = 2000 * (1/2)^1

left = 2000 * 1/2

left = 1000

x = 3

left = 2000 (1/2)^3

left = 2000 (1/8)

left = 250

x = 4

left = 2000 * (1/16)

left = 125

from her on the function does not work accurately. You have to modify the algorithm.
