Tom makes a bet with his friend Bob. Bob wagers $100, but Tom decides to make him a deal. If Bob wins, Tom will pay him $100. If Tom wins, Bob will instead pay $1 for the first day, then every day for 10 days he must match the total amount paid so far. For the first day, Bob will pay $1. The second day, he will pay an additional dollar, since he has only paid $1 thus far. The third day he will pay $2, the fourth $4, and so on.
If Bob has a 75% chance to win, which of the following is the closest to the amount of money Tom will make on average with this bet?
Possible Answers:
A. -$25
B. $50
C. $0
D. $25
E. $100

B

Step-by-step explanation:

true

explanation:

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
