Answer:

$7 ; $4 ; $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1 player loses and 2 wins

Loser pays each winner amount each winner already has

3 rounds was played

At the end, each player has lost 1 round each and has $8.00

Since each player lost 1 round each, then each player won twice.

Given that the players are A, B and C

Starting from the last round :

Recall; they all have $8 after the last round.

If A lost the last round and pays B and C the amount they already have.

B and C finally have $8, Hence amount A paid B and C = 8/2 = $4 each

Hence, at the end of 2nd round / before last round :

A has ($8 paid + $8 final) = $16

B and C each have $4

End of first round before 2nd round of game:

If B lost, and pays A and C the amount they already have ;

A finally has 16 hence, amount B pays A = 16/2 = $8

Amount B pays C = 4/2 = $2

A = $8

B = $4 + $(8 + 2) = $14

C = $2

Ist round

C will lose :

Amount C pays B = $14 / 2 = $7

Amount C pays A = $8 /2 = $4

Hence, amount C has before round 1:

$7 + $4 + $2 = $13

Hence; Before the game ;

Either of the three players have ;

$7 ; $4 and $13

A polynomial function has a zero at x=3 which of the follwing expressions must be one factor of the polynomial. A. x + 3 b. 3x C
nexus9112 [7]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. A polynomial function has a zero value at x=3 for the <span>expression where one factor is x-3. This factor when x=3 will always result to a zero value no matter what you multiply to it. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Now there is a square city of unknown size with a gate at the center of each side. There is a tree 20 b from the north gate. Tha
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250
