Question

Please help me, medal/fan I DONT WANT AN ANSWER
A volleyball playoff competition has eliminations each round. The table below shows the number of teams in each round of the tournament:


Round (x) 1 2 3 4
Teams f(x) 16 8 4 2


Compute the average rate of change of f(x) from x = 1 to x = 4 and identify the meaning of that rate.

Answer 1

Answers:
.
negative three over fourteen; on average, there were 3 fewer teams every 14 rounds
negative fourteen over three; on average, there were 14 fewer teams every 3 rounds
3; there were 3 rounds between rounds 1 and 4
14; there were 14 fewer team between rounds 1 and 4,

Answer 2

average rate of change from x = 1 to x = 4

average rate of change = [f(4)-f(1)]/(4-1)

Answer 3

first step: find f(4) (what is the value of the function when x = 4?)

Answer 4

f(4)-f(1)/3

Answer 5

(1,16) and (4,2)

\(\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ y_2=2\\y_1=16\\x_2=4\\x_1=1\)

Answer 6

so \(\dfrac{2-16}{4-1}\)

Answer 7

what is 2 - 16 and 4 - 1 ?

Answer 8

@Clueless_much78 ?

Answer 9

-14 and 3 @Mehek14 sorry family dinner :(

Answer 10

ok so

\(\dfrac{-14}{3}\)

is that in your answer choices?

Answer 11
