Answer:

The System of linear equations are:

2a+3b = 82  

a+b=38

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, a represents the number of 2-points and b represent the number of 3-point basket.

As per the statement:

The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points and 3-points baskets.

⇒ 2a+3b = 82  

It is also given that: They make 38 baskets altogether.

⇒a+b=38

therefore, the system of linear equations are:

2a+3b = 82  

a+b=38

Answer:

Linear equations are  a+b=38 and 2a+3b=82

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points anf 3-points baskets. They make 38 baskets altogether.

To find : The system of linear equations

Solution :

Let a represent the number of 2-points baskets.

Let b represent the number of 3-points baskets.

They make 38 baskets altogether.

Equation form is a+b=38 .....[1]

The basketball team scored 82 points from 2- points basket ,3-points baskets.

Equation form is 2a+3b=82 ......[2]

Linear equations are  a+b=38 and 2a+3b=82

We solve the two equations,

Put a=38-b from [1] in [2]

2(38-b)+3b=82

76-2b+3b=82

b=6

Put back in [1]

a+b=38

a+6=38

a=32

Hence, There is 32 - 2 point basket and 6 - 3 points basket.

1) The population of a town was7652in 2016. The population grows at a rate of 1.6%annually.(a)Use the exponential growth model t
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

1. a) population of the town in 2024 = 8697

2.) the earthquake with a magnitude of 8 is a <u>100 times stronger</u> than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the population of a town was, N_{0}   = 7652 in 2016.

a) Exponential growth model is given by N(t) = N_{0} e^{kt} where t is the time in years after 2016.

 Year 2016 is when t = 0.

  k = growth rate constant = 1.6% = 0.016

 i) therefore the population of the town in 2024

    = N = N_{0} e^{kt}  = 7652e^{0.016\times8}  = 8697   ( to the nearest whole number)

2.) log (I \times M \times S) = magnitude of earthquake  where I is the Intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a standard earthquake

therefore  I \times M \times S = 10^{magnitude\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm}earthquake}

therefore \frac{strength\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm}earthquake\hspace{0.1cm}1 }{strength\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm}earthquake\hspace{0.1cm}2}  = \frac{10^{8} }{10^{6} }  = 100

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,3) and is perpendicular to y = 1 − 2 x
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 1/2 and -2, 3/4 and -4/3)

<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>

y = 1 -2x

Rearrange into slope-intercept form:

y = -2x+1

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope is -2. Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, a perpendicular line would have a slope of \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b

<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b

Plug in the given point (1,3) and solve for <em>b</em>:

3=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} *1+b\\\\b=\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

Therefore, the y-intercept is \displaystyle \frac{5}{2}. Plug this back into y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

I hope this helps!
