Answer: the winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  the losing position of 5 chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we start with 6 chips.

* If we take 1 chip, we leave our opponent with 5 - which we showed  

  was a losing position for him.

* If we take 2 chip (leaving 4), our opponent will take 3 - we lose.

* If we take 3 chip (leaving 3), our opponent will take 2 - we lose.

So our winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  

the losing position of 5 chips.

How do you multiply mixed numbers and fractions?
jekas [21]
First you need to convert the mixed numerals to improper fractions , for example 1 1/3 = 1/3 + 3/3 = 4/3.   Then you multiple across the numerators, the top number, and then the denominator, the bottom number.  Simplify the answer if necessary.

1 1/3 x 5/6
4/3 x 5/6 = 20/18 Divide numerator and denominator by 2
10/9  write as a mixed number 1 1/9

If s(x)=2-x^2 and t(x)=3x, which value is equivalent to (s*t)(-7)?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

(s*t)(-7) = 987

Step-by-step explanation:

s(x) = 2 - x²

t(x) = 3x

To find (s*t)(x), multiply s(x) and t(x).

(s*t)(x) = (2 - x²)(3x)

(s*t)(x) = 6x - 3x³

Now that you have (s*t)(x), plug -7 in.

(s*t)(-7) = 6(-7) - 3(-7)³

(s*t)(-7) = 6(-7) - 3(-343)

(s*t)(-7) = -42 + 1029

(s*t)(-7) = 987
