Answer:

  be the second player, and always leave a multiple of 3 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to win, a player must force the other player to leave one or two balloons. To do that, the winning player must leave one more balloon than the maximum number that can be popped. That is, the winner will be the player who leaves 3 balloons,

Working backward, we find that the winner must leave a multiple of 3 after each turn. Since the starting number is a multiple of 3, the first player must lose if the second player plays optimally.

The winning strategy is ...

  • be the second player
  • always leave a multiple of 3 balloons.

The edge of a cube measures 3.5 x 10 ^ -2 meters. What is the volume of the cube in cubic meters? WRITE Your ANSWERS IN SCIENTIF
Crank

The volume of given cube is: 4.29 * 10^{-5} cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube is given by:

V = a^3

Given

Edge of the cube = 3.5*10^{-2}

Putting the value of edge

V = (3.5*10^{-2})^3\\V = 42.875 * (10^{-2})^3\\V = 42.9 * 10 ^{-2*3}\\V = 42.9 * 10^{-6}\\V = 4.29 * 10 * 10 ^{-6}\\V = 4.29 * 10^{-5}\ cubic\ meters

The volume of given cube is: 4.29 * 10^{-5} cubic meters
