Answer:

The different winning scores possible are 25 (from 28 to 52).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The minimum score obtained by a player will be 28.

since, we divide 1-7 numbered to one and 8-14 to the other player such that    one receives the maximum and the other receives the minimum.

 the least minimum possibility is :28 as one get the card as(1,2,3,4,5,6,7).

while the other player gets 77 sum and loses.

  • for increasing this score now we give the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 to one of the player so that they sum upto 29 and will get the minimum score and wins while the other player gets 76 sum with the help of numbers{9,10,11,12,13,14,7} and loses.
  •    next possible minimum sum to win will be 30 by assigning 1,2,3,4,5,6,9 whereas the other gets the sum 75 and loses.
  • continuing in the same way we see that the minimum sum obtained to win will be 52( by assigning 2,3,6,7,9,12,13) while the other gets the sum 53 and loses.

    Hence, there are total 25 winning scores possible.  (from 28 to 52 i.e. 52-28=25).

Solve the equation algebraically for all values of X

This is a problem you need to solve using logs. When you use logs you can "pull" the exponents down in front of the log to get a new equation that looks like this: 2x^3 + x^2 log 81 = 6x - 3 log 27. Now divide both sides by log 81 and 6x - 3 simultaneously to get (2x^3 + x^2)/(6x - 3) = (log 27)/(log 81). If you do the log math on the right side you get .75. Now multiply both sides by 6x-3 to get 2x^3+x^2 = .75(6x-3). If you distribute that out on the left side you'll get 2x^3+x^2=4.5x-2.25. Now move everything over to the left side and set the whole thing equal to 0: 2x^3+x^2-4.5x+2.25=0. When you solve for x, you are in essence factoring, so do this by grouping: x^2(2x+1)-2.25(2x+1). Now finally factor out the 2x+1 to get (2x+1)(x^2-2.25). You're not done yet though cuz you need to solve each of those for x: 2x+1=0, and x= -1/2; x^2=2.25, and x=+/- 1.5. So all the values for x here are -1/2, 1.5, and -1.5
