Answer:
Total possible number of outcomes = C(24,6) [24 choose 6]
=24!/(6!18!)
= 134596
Out of which there is only one winning combination.
Therefore we conclude:
P(win 20000)=1/134596
P(lose 1)=134595/134596
and hence the expected value is:
20000*(1/134596)+(-1)*(134595/134596)
=-114595/134596
=-0.8514 (rounded to four places after decimal)

x² - 2x - 8
The notation (f·g)(x) means to multiply the two functions. Use the distributive property to simplify.
(f·g)(x) = (x+2)(x-4) = x² + 2x - 4x - 8 = x² - 2x - 8
