A function representing the number of competitors left at time x, in a tennis tournament beginning with 128 competitors and eliminating half of them each round.
What is f(x)=128*(1/2)x ?
f(n)=f(n-1)+3
f(1)=4
The approximate age of an artifact containing 12.5% of its original carbon-14 atoms.
(Hint: Carbon-14 has a half life of about 5730 years.)A certain drug decays at a rate of 15% per hour. An initial dose is 500mg and it is not safe to drive until there is only 50mg in someone's system.
An equation representing how long until it is safe to drive.
What is 50 = 500(.85)t ?
f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2)
f(1)=1, f(2)=1
