AI Thread Summary
Team D has no draws and three losses in the tournament. The results indicate that Team B won all its matches, including a match against Team A, which lost to B by a score of 0-1. To determine the outcomes of other matches, a process of elimination is recommended, starting with Team A's known record. The discussion emphasizes the importance of analyzing goals-for and goals-against to deduce match results. Overall, the conversation focuses on solving the tournament results through logical reasoning and elimination.

Yes. Now what about part b?
 
this is really hard thinking...i need a good method to deal with these kind of questions :mad:
 
Nah, not really hard thinking, just process of elimination. :wink: Start with team A. It has a record of 1-1-1, and goals-for/goals against (GF-GA) of 1-1. Since B won all three games, A must have lost to B. Since A's GF-GA is only 1-1, it must have lost to B by a score of 0-1. Continuing from here, you should be able to figure out who beat whom, and by what scores.
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
