The second answer.
You have the first prize, x.
Then you have the second prize, which is x - 50.
Then you have the third prize, which is x - 50 -50, or x - 100.
So the total money is:
x + (x-50) + (x-100).
Answer:The solution is in the attached file
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
roots: 1 and 3
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2 roots: p and p+2
(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k
x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k
-2 (p+1) = -4
p+1 = 2
p = 1 ... root 1
p' = 1+2 = 3 ... root 2
k = p² + 2p = 3
check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k
The one that has positive 2 as the y intercept
Check the picture below.

since the distance AB cannot be a negative value, thus is not -3-√(130).
