Each year the local country club sponsors a tennis tournament. Play starts with 128 participants. During each round of tennis, half of the players are eliminated. Which exponential function can be used to find the number of players left in the tournament during each round? f(x) = 128(2)* f(x) = (128)* F(x) = 128(-Y f(x) = 2(128)*
