12. Complete the table below to show the number of teams in the tournament (5 points)
Answer:??
13. Write an explicit formula to describe this sequence that will determine how many teams are playing at any given round. Describe what a and r represent. (10 points)
Answer:??
14. How many rounds will it take to get down to the winning team? You may choose to use a table or a regression equation to generate a table. (5 points)
15. How are linear and exponential functions similar and different. Discuss the relationship between the m and b in y= mx+b and the a and b or a and r in y = a (b)x or an = a1(r)x. (5 points)

13. Write an explicit formula to describe this sequence that will determine how many teams are playing at any given round. Describe what a and r represent. (10 points)
Answer:?? a(n) = 650(1/2)^n where n = 0,1,2,3...
"a" = 650 is the original number of teams
"r" is the common ratio of the exponential equation
---------------------
14. How many rounds will it take to get down to the winning team? You may choose to use a table or a regression equation to generate a table. (5 points)
Solve::
1 = 650(1/2)^n
(1/2)^n = 1/650
n = log[(1/650)]/log(1/2) = 9.34
