A basketball player scored 29 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 29 less than three tim

es the number of free throws (each worth 1 point). Twice the number of two-point field goals the player made was 15 more than the number of three-point field goals made. Find the number of free-throws, two-point field goals, and three-point field goals that the player made in the game.
A-10 free throws; 1 two-point field goals; 8 three-point field goals

B-11 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 4 three-point field goals

C-10 free throws; 9 two-point field goals; 3 three-point field goals

D-10 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 1 three-point field goals

If you let x represent the number of free throws.         
let y represent the number of two-point field goal.         
let z represent the number of three-point shots made.

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows: 

x + 2y + 3z = 29 (The total number of points scored is 29.)
z = 3x - 29 (The number of 3-pointers was 29 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 15 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 15 more than the number of 3-pointers.) 

Solution:
This basketball player scored 10 points via free throws (10 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 3 points via 1 three-point shots made. So, in the choice its letter D.

Determine if the graph is a function then state the domain and range.
nignag [31]
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

A function is a set of relation that doesn't have repetitive domain. If we want to know if a graph is function or not, we have to do the line test.

<u>Line</u><u> </u><u>Test</u>

  1. Draw a vertical line. Make sure that a line passes through a graph.
  2. See if a line intercepts a graph more than one point or just only one.

<u>Result</u>

If a line intercepts a graph more than one point, it is not a function.

However, if a line only intercepts a graph just one point, it is indeed a function.

The given graph from the question is a function because it passes line test.

<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>Range</u>

Domain is the set of all x-values, meaning we only focus on x-axis or x-value only.

Range is the set of all y-values. We only focus on y-value or y-axis for Range.

<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>

We can simply say that the domain is from starting domain or x-coordinate point to end x-coordinate point. For example, if a graph starts at x = -4 and ends at x = 2, we can say that - 4<=x=2.

<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Range</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>

Similar to Domain except Range starts from the minimum value or point to the maximum point or value. For example if a graph starts at min point = 6 and max point = 9. We can say that 6<=y<=9.

From the graph, the domain starts from negative infinity to positive infinity. Meaning that x can be any numbers. Hence, the domain is set of all real numbers. For range, the minimum value is 0 and max value is positive infinity. Therefore we write y>=0.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\begin{cases} x \in  \mathbb{R} \\ y \geqslant 0 \end{cases}</u>

<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>set</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>all</u><u> </u><u>real</u><u> </u><u>numbers</u><u>.</u>

<u>Range</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>greater</u><u> </u><u>or</u><u> </u><u>equal</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u>
