A school is running a raffle for two prizes. 59 tickets were sold for the raffle, numbered 1,…,59. All the tickets are put into a hat and a teacher picks out two tickets which have numbers i and j from the hat. What is the expected value of |iāˆ’j|?

Triangle ABC has side lengths BC=13,CA=14,AB=15. A point P is selected at random from the interior of the triangle and the line AP is extended to meet BC at the point Q. What is the expected value of area of ABQ ?

How many triangle of distinct area can be formed such that all the vertices of the triangle should be chosen from the 8 vertices of cube.


Two players play a game starting with a pile of n stones. The players take turns removing stones from the pile. On their turn they are allowed to remove 1 stone from the pile, 2 stones from the pile, or half the stones from the pile, provided the number of stones in the pile is even. The player who wins is the player who makes the last move (i.e. removes the last stone). If the values of n can be any number from 1 to 500 (inclusive), determine for how many of these games the first player can win the game if he plays optimally.

can someone please answer this question :

If TAYLOR SERIES EXPANSION for f(x) = ln(1+x) is

X - x2/2 + x3/3 - x4/4 + x5/5 - x6/6... =

āˆ‘ (-1)(n-1) *( x^n/n ) ( for n = 1 to āˆž)

Then what is the corresponding log function for the taylor series expansion :

((-1)^(n+1)x^2n)/(2n)
