1. thirty-two teams are in the first round of a softball tournament. a team is
eliminated as soon as it loses a game. how many games will need to be
played to determine the winner?

31 games

Step-by-step explanation:

round 1 has 32 teams ÷2=16games

round 2 has 16 teams ÷2=8games

round 3 has 8 teams ÷2=4games

round 4 has 4 teams ÷ 2=2games

round 5 has 2 teams ÷2=1games

16+8+4+2+1

(1,4) is on graph of f(x)

f(1) = 4

so 1/4 f(x)

1/4 f(1)

1/4. ×4

1

so point for function 1/4. f(x) is (1,1)
