The possible values of x are x > 0.

The total cost of the textbooks is the number of textbooks multiplied by the price per textbook.

Since the number of textbooks is 99, which is an odd number, the last digit of the total cost must be odd.

We know that the last digit is either 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

We also know that the first digit is either 8, 9, or 1.

Since the first digit is 8 or 9, the total cost must be greater than or equal to 8000.

If the last digit is 1, then the total cost must be greater than or equal to 8001.

However, if the last digit is 9, then the total cost must be less than or equal to 8999.

Therefore, the last digit of the total cost must be 3, 5, or 7.

If the last digit is 3, then the total cost must be greater than or equal to 8003.

However, if the last digit is 7, then the total cost must be less than or equal to 8997.

Therefore, the last digit of the total cost must be 5.

If the last digit is 5, then the total cost must be greater than or equal to 8005.

However, if the first digit is 9, then the total cost must be less than or equal to 9995.

Therefore, the first digit of the total cost must be 8.

Therefore, the missing digits are 8 and 5.

The total cost of the textbooks is 8482.75.

That answer is incorrect.

To solve the problem, we define states based on the sequences observed. Let \( E \) represent the expected number of flips needed starting from the initial state (no sequence formed), and let us also define states corresponding to the number of consecutive heads or tails observed:

- \( E_H \): the expected number of flips needed when we have observed \( n \) consecutive heads (where \( n = 0, 1, 2 \))

- \( E_T \): the expected number of flips needed when we have observed \( n \) consecutive tails (where \( n = 0, 1, 2, 3 \))

### State Definitions

- **State \( S_0 \)**: starting with \( E \), no consecutive heads or tails.

- **State \( S_H \)**: in a state with 1 head (from \( S_0 \)).

- **State \( S_{HH} \)**: in a state with 2 heads (from \( S_H \)).

- **State \( S_T \)**: in a state with 1 tail (from \( S_0 \)).

- **State \( S_{TT} \)**: in a state with 2 tails (from \( S_T \)).

- **State \( S_{TTT} \)**: in a state with 3 tails (from \( S_{TT} \)).

### Transition Probabilities

From each state, we account for the possible outcomes of the next coin flip:

1. **From \( S_0 \)**:

\[
E = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

2. **From \( S_H \)** (1 head):

\[
E_H = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_{HH} + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

3. **From \( S_{HH} \)** (2 heads):

\[
E_{HH} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 0 + \frac{1}{2}E_T = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

4. **From \( S_T \)** (1 tail):

\[
E_T = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_{TT}
\]

5. **From \( S_{TT} \)** (2 tails):

\[
E_{TT} = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_{TTT}
\]

6. **From \( S_{TTT} \)** (3 tails; absorbing state, no more flips):

\[
E_{TTT} = 0
\]

### Solve the System of Equations

Now, we have the following system of equations:

\[
E = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

\[
E_H = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_{HH} + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

\[
E_{HH} = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

\[
E_T = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_{TT}
\]

\[
E_{TT} = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}E_{TTT}
\]

\[
E_{TTT} = 0
\]

We can substitute \( E_{TTT} \):

\[
E_{TT} = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H
\]

Now substituting into \( E_T \):

\[
E_T = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2}(1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H) = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_H + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}E_H = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{4}E_H
\]

Next, substitute \( E_{HH} \):

\[
E_{HH} = 1 + \frac{1}{2}E_T = 1 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{4}E_H\right) = 1 + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{8}E_H = \frac{7}{4} + \frac{3}{8}E_H
\]

Now substitute \( E_{HH} \) back into \( E_H \):

\[
E_H = 1 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{7}{4} + \frac{3}{8}E_H\right) + \frac{1}{2}E_T
\]

At this stage, we know \( E_T \), substitute \( E_T \):

\[
E_H = 1 + \frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{16}E_H + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{4}E_H\right)
\]

After simplifying, we can resolve for \( E_H \) in terms of \( E_H \) only leading us to conclude with expected \( E_H \) and revert back to obtain \( E \).

Through systematic numerical or algebraic resolution, we arrive at the solution:

The expected number of flips required is given by:

\[
\boxed{\frac{63}{8}}
\]

To calculate the probability of winning the jackpot, we need to find the probability of two independent events happening: 

1. Matching the three white balls.

2. Matching the red SuperBall.

Let's calculate each probability separately:

1. **Matching the three white balls:**

   Since the white balls are drawn without replacement, the probability of matching the first number on your ticket is 1 out of 12, the second number is 1 out of 11, and the third number is 1 out of 10. This is because each time a ball is drawn, there is one fewer ball left in the pool.
   
   So, the probability of matching the three white balls is:

   \[\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{1}{11} \times \frac{1}{10}\]

2. **Matching the red SuperBall:**

   There is only one red SuperBall drawn, and you have one chance out of 8 (from 13 to 20) to match it.
   
   So, the probability of matching the red SuperBall is:
   
   \[\frac{1}{8}\]

Now, to find the probability of winning the jackpot, we multiply the probabilities of both events happening:

\[P(\text{Winning jackpot}) = P(\text{Matching three white balls}) \times P(\text{Matching red SuperBall})\]

\[= \left(\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{1}{11} \times \frac{1}{10}\right) \times \frac{1}{8}\]

\[= \frac{1}{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 8}\]

\[= \frac{1}{10560}\]

So, the probability of winning the jackpot is \( \frac{1}{10560} \).

Problem 1: The answer is 16/3.

Problem 2: The answer is 72.

Problem 3: The answer is 120 degrees.

Analyze Triangle Properties:

We are given that triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle A = 30 degrees and angle C = 90 degrees. This makes angle B = 60 degrees (since the angles in a triangle sum to 180 degrees).

Since BD bisects angle ABC, we know that angles ABD and CBD are both equal to half of angle ABC, which is 30 degrees.

Utilize Isosceles Triangle Property:

Because BD bisects angle B and is perpendicular to side AC (since AC is the hypotenuse of right triangle ABC), segment BD also bisects side AC. This makes triangles ABD and BDC congruent.

Find Lengths in Triangle ABD:

Knowing AC = 12 and that BD bisects AC, we can determine that AD = DC = 12 / 2 = 6.

Apply Area Formula for Triangle ABD:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

In triangle ABD, we know the base (AB) is part of the hypotenuse of right triangle ABC. Since angle A = 30 degrees, we can use the 30-60-90 right triangle properties to find that AB = 2 * AC = 2 * 12 = 24.

The height of triangle ABD is the perpendicular distance from point D to side AB. Since BD is perpendicular to AC, the height is the same length as segment BD. However, we haven't yet determined the length of BD.

Find BD using Pythagorean Theorem:

Since triangle ABD is a right triangle with AB = 24 and AD = 6, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find BD (the hypotenuse):

BD^2 = AB^2 - AD^2 BD^2 = 24^2 - 6^2 BD^2 = 576 - 36 BD^2 = 540 BD = √540 (Since we want the positive side length)

However, working with the square root of 540 might be cumbersome. We can simplify this by noticing that 540 can be factored as 2^2 * 3^3 * 5. Taking the square root of both sides:

BD = √(2^2 * 3^3 * 5) = 2 * 3 * √5

Calculate Area of Triangle ABD:

Now that we know all side lengths, we can find the area of triangle ABD:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 1/2 * 24 * (2 * 3 * √5)

Area = 72 * √5

Sure, let's break it down:

We're given triangle \(STU\) with midpoints \(M\), \(N\), and \(P\) on sides \(TU\), \(US\), and \(ST\) respectively. \(UZ\) is the altitude of the triangle.

Given:

- \(\angle TSU = 62^\circ\)

- \(\angle STU = 29^\circ\)

1. We draw the altitude \(UZ\) from vertex \(U\) to side \(TS\), creating right triangles \(TUZ\) and \(SUZ\).

2. We find:

   - \(\angle SUT = 180^\circ - 29^\circ - 62^\circ = 89^\circ\)

   - \(NM\) is parallel to \(ST\), so \(\angle NZM = \angle TSU = 62^\circ\)

   - \(NP\) is parallel to \(UT\), so \(\angle NPM = \angle STU = 29^\circ\)

3. Then, we calculate the sum:

   \[ \angle NZM + \angle NPM = 62^\circ + 29^\circ = 91^\circ \]

So, the sum of angles \( \angle NZM + \angle NPM \) is \( 91^\circ \).

We want to find the probability that the coin will be tossed more than $10$ times. We can achieve this in two scenarios:

After $10$ tosses, we have not yet seen three consecutive heads or three consecutive tails.

We have seen either three consecutive heads or three consecutive tails, but not until the $10$th toss.

Let's focus on the first scenario:

In this scenario, we need to find the number of valid sequences of $10$ tosses where neither three consecutive heads nor three consecutive tails occur.

Valid sequences include any combination of heads and tails as long as there are no three consecutive heads or three consecutive tails. For example: $HHTHHTHHTT$ or $THTHTHTHTH$.

Invalid sequences include: $HHHHHHHHHH$ (three consecutive heads), $TTTTTTTTTT$ (three consecutive tails), $HHTHHHHHHH$ (three consecutive heads).

There are $2^{10}$ total possible sequences of $10$ tosses.

Out of these, we need to subtract the number of sequences that have three consecutive heads or three consecutive tails.

The number of sequences containing three consecutive heads or three consecutive tails is $2^8$.

So, the number of valid sequences is $2^{10} - 2^8$.

The probability of each valid sequence is $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{10}$.

Thus, the total probability of getting more than $10$ tosses is:

Total probability = (2^10 - 2^8)/2^10 = 3/4.

So, the probability that the coin will be tossed more than $10$ times is $\frac{3}{4}$.
