Answer:

Probability that A wins is 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

player A can win in 2 ways

1) Player A wins immediately by getting head

2) Player A loses immediately by getting tail but wins ultimately as player B gets losses.

a) Probability of 1 to happen is 1/2.

b) Similarly for the event 2 to happen the condition is that A get's a tail and B losses.

Let probability that A wins is 'p' thus we have

p=P(1)+P(2)\\\\p=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-p)\\\\

Solving for 'p' we get

p= 2/3.

Help plz! (a + b - c)(a + b + c) multiplying polynomials
saul85 [17]

Answer:

a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply all the terms together you get a^2 + ab + ac + ab + b^2 + bc - ac - bc - c^2. Then you can just combine like terms and simplify it to a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - c^2. Hope this helps :)

What is x in this geometry equation?​
lesya [120]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

m\overset{\frown} {PQ} = m\overset{\frown} {MN}... (given) \\\therefore Chord \:PQ \cong Chord\: MN\\  \therefore \: 4x + 10 = 38 \\   \therefore \: 4x= 38  - 10\\ \therefore \: 4x= 28\\  \therefore \: x=  \frac{28}{4} \\   \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: x= 7}}

Mario worked from 8:25 to 12:45 yesterday. Today
solmaris [256]

The number of hours he worked in all (written in fraction form) is 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours

From the question,

Mario worked from 8:25 to 12:45 yesterday.

From 8:25 to 12:45 gives 4 hours 20 minutes

Also, from the question,

Today  he will work from 11:20 to 3:10

From 11:20 to 3:10 gives 3 hours 50 minutes

To determine the number of hours he work in all, we will add the time spent working on the previous day to that of the current day. That is,

4 hours 20 minutes + 3 hours 50 minutes = 8 hours 10 minutes

Now, to put the answer in fraction form, we will convert 10 minutes to hours

NOTE: 60 minutes = 1 hour

∴ 10 minutes = \frac{10}{60} \ hours = \frac{1}{6} \ hours

∴ 8 hours 10 minutes = 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours

Hence, the number of hours he worked in all (written in fraction form) is 8\frac{1}{6} \ hours
