Writing Exponential Functions

A tennis tournament begins with 128 players. At the end of round one, there will be 64 players. There are 32 players at the end of round 2 and 16 players remaining after round 3. Write the equation that best models this situation.

• y = -64x + 128

• y = 0.5x + 128

• y = 128(0.5)^x

• y = 128(2)^x
