Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/401605: 32 basketball teams went to a single elimination tournament. How many games were played at the tournament? I don't really know how to figure this one out. If you do decide to help me, can you please show me how you did it? Many tutors just tell me the answer. I would like to know the steps for future reference. Thank you! :) 1 solutions Answer 284237 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2011-01-30 01:34:25 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first answer is correct if there's only one actual game and you're trying to figure out how many ways to pair up two teams out of 32 (to play this only game). However, in this case, it's much simpler. Since there are 32 teams, and each team is playing someone else, there are such pairings. Out of each pair, only one team will move on. So after the first round, there are 16 teams left. Those 16 teams pair up to have pairings. So after the 2nd round, 8 teams remain. See the pattern? So we go from 32, to 16, then to 8. Now divide 8 in 2 to get 4 and divide 4 in half to get 2. Finally, we have 2 teams that compete for the finals. If you cut 2 in half, you'll get 1, which will be the tournament champion. So we have 16 (first round), 8 (second round), 4 (third round), 2 (fourth round) games and then 1 final game Note: Count the pairings (NOT the actual teams). Draw a chart or a picture if you need to. Note: the "fourth" round is probably more commonly known as the "semifinals". Also, the "third" round may be referred to as the "conference semifinals" or "quarterfinals" So add up all of these games to get: 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 31 So this means that there are 31 games played total.

Probability-and-statistics/398554: What determines whether a hypothesis test will be one-tailed or two-tailed? 1 solutions Answer 282377 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2011-01-23 17:11:53 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you have key words like "less than" or "at most", then that will signify that you're dealing with inequality signs. This consequently means that the alternative hypothesis will have an inequality sign. So all this means that you have a one-tailed test. Or... If on the other hand you have key words like "not equal to" or "is different than", then you'll have a two-tailed test. Post the actual problem so we can see whether the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.

Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,5,10 -1,-2,-5,-10 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*10 = 10 2*5 = 10 (-1)*(-10) = 10 (-2)*(-5) = 10 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 10 1+10=11 2 5 2+5=7 -1 -10 -1+(-10)=-11 -2 -5 -2+(-5)=-7 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term =============================================================== Answer: So factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/397336: I need to factor this trinomial completely, I thinks it is "not factorable" using integers but I want to be sure. 8t^2 - 3t - 4 Thanks in advance! 1 solutions Answer 281660 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2011-01-20 14:20:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looking at we can see that the first term is and the last term is where the coefficients are 8 and -4 respectively. Now multiply the first coefficient 8 and the last coefficient -4 to get -32. Now what two numbers multiply to -32 and add to the middle coefficient -3? Let's list all of the factors of -32: Factors of -32: 1,2,4,8,16,32 -1,-2,-4,-8,-16,-32 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations These factors pair up and multiply to -32 (1)*(-32) (2)*(-16) (4)*(-8) (-1)*(32) (-2)*(16) (-4)*(8) note: remember, the product of a negative and a positive number is a negative number Now which of these pairs add to -3? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -3 First Number Second Number Sum 1 -32 1+(-32)=-31 2 -16 2+(-16)=-14 4 -8 4+(-8)=-4 -1 32 -1+32=31 -2 16 -2+16=14 -4 8 -4+8=4 None of these pairs of factors add to -3. So the expression cannot be factored So you are correct. Good job.
