Homework Statement Trying to find optimal solution for row player. Deny=D Tattle=T. I am trying to do this without knocking out dominated alternatives. D T D -1,1 -10,0 T 0,-10 -6,-6 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution DD=p(-1)+(1-p)(-10) =-1p-10+10p...

I just do not know how to compute that reduced system of equations that I have into the correct answer. The actual math is beyond me. On the poker website, he is using simple EV equations, but the answer in the book for my game comes out looking like it came from some other process. That...

This problem is not schoolwork, it is from "The Mathematics of Poker". I have three equations based off a 3x3 Rock, Paper, Scissors payout table where winning with scissors is given a +2 payout instead of +1. Homework Statement Find the solution to the system of equations Homework...

In the course of the game, the probability does matter. It is a great time to bluff or be bluffed. I have been bluffed and bluffed with it. Ex. Raise like hell on the third diamond when I have a two pair, and the price is right. For me, their is always comfort in knowing statistics.

I run into the dilemma of having a great hand and then a possible flush hits, so I tried to calculate the probability of a single opponent having a flush when the board has 3 suited cards by the river. I used the old 1-(unhelpful cards/unseen cards) trick, but my answer seems too high, and I...

What are some good websites that cover learning probability from beginner to advanced?

Homework Statement We are calculating the slope of the function f(x) = 1/x - x2 at x = 3/2. For the function f(x) = 1/x - x2, we now know: f(3/2) = -19/12 f(3/2+h) = (1)/(3/2 + h) - ((9/4) + 3h + h^2) Now evaluate the difference quotient, simplifying as much as possible and...

Why is their not a (h-3) next to the 2 in (2/(h-3))?

So, basically when you are talking about multiplying fractions by one to get a common denominator, it is implied that the denominator is also in the numerator, but the h being in the numerator of the middle fraction screws this up, if not I do not understand the concept. If I do not understand...

From here I went: =(1/h) [(6/(3(-3+h)) + 9h/(3(-3+h) + -6+2h/(3(-3+h))] and ended up with =11/(3(-3+h)) and it still says I am wrong. Where did I mess up?

Homework Statement We are calculating the slope of the function f(x) = 2/x + 3x at x = -3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the function f(x) = 2/x + 3x, we now know: f(-3) = -29/3 f(-3+h) = (2/( - 3 + h) - 9 + 3h) Now evaluate the...

All this because I tried to overcomplicate something.

According to the 1/(2+3)=1/5...example, I guess since there is no way to subtract 2h from 4/3, then there is no way to take the reciprocal of the combined terms, then there is no way to further simplify it. I solved a point on a curve slope problem using this form as one of my functions. If...

I decided to try out some of the new division stuff I saw on Khan by further simplifying a previous problem: 1/(4/3-2h) (I went ahead and inverted and multiplied the 2nd terms) (1/1)(3/4)= 3/4 (1/1)(-1/2h)= -1/2h to get: = 3/4-1/2h How does this look? I was messing...

I am a college student that is halfway through a master's degree in business management. I have not taken a basic algebra course in over six years. I am also dirt broke because I have no job, hence I cannot afford an algebra textbook to help me on my fractions. Where would be a good website to...
