At a yearly basketball tournament, 84 different teams complete, after each round of the tournament, one-fourth of the team remain.

Create a function which models the above scenario and explain how you arrived at each part of the function

84*(1/4)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

84 is the constant as it is the starting amount. However each round (x because the amount of rounds is constantly changing) divides the team by 4 or multiplies by 1/4 (Reciprocal).

So, if you wanted to see if the amount of teams after three rounds you would do:

84 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4. However, any number times itself is an exponent, so we would simplify to 84³. But due to the fact we do not know how many rounds we are going to calculate we change the exponent to x.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
