A game of "Doubles-Doubles" is played with two dice. If a player rolls doubles, the player earns 3 points and gets another roll.

If the player rolls doubles again, the player earns 9 more points. How many points should the player lose for not rolling doubles in order to make this a fair game?

Answer:

27/35 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting one double;

P(getting one double) = 5/36

Probability of getting two doubles is;

P(getting two doubles) = 1/36

Probability of getting no doubles is;

P(getting no doubles) = 1/36

For us to find the Number of points that the player should lose for not rolling doubles, we have;

(12/36) + (5(3 - x)/36) - (5x/6) = 0

(12/36) + (15 - 5x)/36 - 5x/6 = 0

Multiply through by 36 to get;

12 + 15 - 5x - 30x = 0

35x = 27

x = 27/35

drek231 [11]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{If}\ x=4\pm3i\ \text{and}\ x=-3\ \text{are the zeros of a polynomial, then it has  a form:}\\\\p(x)=\bigg(x-(4-3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(4+3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(-3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x-4+3i)(x-4-3i)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\underbrace{\bigg((x-4)+3i\bigg)\bigg((x-4)-3i\bigg)}_{\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x-4)^2-(3i)^2\bigg)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

p(x)=(x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2-3^2i^2)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ i^2=-1\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16-9(-1))(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16+9)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+25)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use FOIL}:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x^2)(x)+(x^2)(3)+(-8x)(x)+(-8x)(3)+(25)(x)+(25)(3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^3+3x^2-8x^2-24x+25x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)

\text{The y-intercept is at 300}.\\\\\text{For}\ w(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...+a_1x+a_0\\\\\text{y-intercept is}\ a_0\\\\\text{Therefore for}\ p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\\text{y-intercet is}\ 75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\r(x)=4\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)(4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\p(x)=(x^3)(4)+(-5x^2)(4)+(x)(4)+(75)(4)\\\\p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300

A sale person is given a choice of two salary plans 1weekly salary of $500 plus 4%commission of sale plan 2 is a straight commis
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Salary plan 1:

Weekly salary of $500.

And a commission of 4%.

Salary plan 2:

Straight commission of 8%.

To find:

Weekly sales for which both the plans will make the same sales?

Solution:

Let the weekly sales = $x

As per question statement:

Salary as per Plan 1 = $500 + 4% of x

Salary as per Plan 2 = 8% of x

Putting both the salaries to equal to find the total weekly sales.

$500 + 4% of x = 8% of x

\Rightarrow 500 = 4\%\ of\ x\\\Rightarrow 500 = \dfrac{4}{100}x\\\Rightarrow x = \$12500

Therefore, the answer is:

For the sales of $12500, the salary will be same from both the plans.

Please help I will give brainliest.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

Perpendicular bisector is a line that divides the line into two equal halves forming 90° at the intersection point.

So, points A and B will be at the same distance from the intersection point.

If the constructed line (perpendicular bisector) is the reflection axis, then point B will be the refection point of A.
