Maggie is knitting blankets for the residents of a local nursing home. She already has 6 blankets completed. After one week, Kay has 8 blankets. After two weeks, Kay has 10 blankets. Write the equation that represents this situation.

• y = 6x + 2

• y = 2x + 6

• y = 6(2)^x

• y = 2(6)^x

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. This situation is best modeled by a(n) _________________ function.

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 = 128x + 0.5

• y = 0.5x + 128

• y = 128(0.5)^x

• y = 128(0.5)^x-1
