Empty, remove 0, 1, or 2, and divide Consider the following impartial combinatorial game. Two boxes each contain a nonzero number of chips. Two player alternate turns. A turn consists of a player choosing a box and emptying it, removing 0, 1, or 2 chips from the pile in the other box, then dividing the remaining chips so that both boxes again have a nonzero number of chips. Thus, (1, 1) is the only terminal position. Find a description of the P-positions for this game. You must justify your answer. Hint: You may find the solution to the third problem on the midterm to be helpful.

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.

correct

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
