Answer: If you let x represent the number of free throws (worth 1 point each)

         let y represent the number of two-point field goals (worth 2 points each)

         let z represent the number of three-point shots made (worth 3 points each)

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows:

x + 2y + 3z = 40         (The total number of points scored is 40.)

z = 3x - 22                  (The number of 3-pointers was 22 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)

2y = z + 11                 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 11 more than the number of 3-pointers.)

The solution is as follows:

This basketball player scored 9 points via free throws (9 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 15 points via 5 three-point shots made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the polar representation of this complex number into its standard form z=4(cos150+isin150).
Katen [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the exact values

cos150° = - cos30° = - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

sin150° = sin30° = \frac{1}{2}

Given

z = 4(cos150° + isin150° ) , substitute values

  = 4(- \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} +  \frac{1}{2}i )

  = - 2\sqrt{3} + 2i , that is

(- 2\sqrt{3}, 2 ) → B

A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5
boyakko [2]

Additional information to complete the question:

How long does it take for a short pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other?

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables f and L. Use the numeric value given for n in the introduction.

T = ___________ s

Answer:

 T = \frac{15}{f}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Thickness og glass = L

Index of refraction n=1.5

Frequency = f

Wavelength = \frac{L}{10}

λ(air) = \frac{L}{10}

λ(glass) = λ(air) / n

             = \frac{\frac{L}{10}}{1.5}

             = \frac{L}{10} * \frac{1}{1.5}

             = \frac{L}{15}

V(glass) = fλ(glass)

              = f * \frac{L}{15}

          T = \frac{L}{V_{glass}} = \frac{15}{f}

Use the equation: C=0.5n to determine the cost for 14 hamburgers in dollars
Goshia [24]
C=$7.00

C stands for the cost, and n would be the amount of hamburgers. Since we are looking to determine the costs of 14 hamburgers we would have to then multiply 0.5 and 14.

14 x 0.5 =7

So your answer is 7 dollars

PLZ HELP! 20 POINTS!!
ivann1987 [24]
Given list of values
A = {23, 34, 19, 10, 9, 20, 40, 43, 28, 29, 36, 13, 27, 23, 36, 37, 7}

Sort list A to get list B
B = {7, 9, 10, 13, 19, 20, 23, 23, 27, 28, 29, 34, 36, 36, 37, 40, 43}

The smallest value is 7, so the min is 7
The largest value is 43, so the max is 43

Look through list B to find the middle-most value. What you can do is cross off each pair of outer values (see figure 1 in the attached images) until you are left with the middle value
Or you can note how there are 17 values so the median is at slot 9 (there are 8 values below the median; 8 values above the median; the 8 is from 17/2 = 8.5)

Once you know the median is 27, we split the list B into two parts
The first part, we'll call it L for lower half is
L = {7, 9, 10, 13, 19, 20, 23, 23}
which is the list of all values lower or smaller than the median.
The median of list L is 16 because its the midway point between 13 and 19. We can compute (13+19)/2 = 32/2 = 16. This is the value of Q1

The upper half U is
U = {28, 29, 34, 36, 36, 37, 40, 43}
this list shows all the values larger than the median.
The value of Q3 is 36. We find the midpoint of 36 and 36 which is just 36.
The value of Q3 is the same as the median of list U

------------------------------------------------

Five Number Summary:
Min = 7
Q1 = 16
Median = 27
Q3 = 36
Max = 43

This five number summary is then used to construct the box-and-whisker plot. See figure 2 in the attached images. The diagram shows how each piece of the boxplot is put together (eg: the left edge of the box is the value of Q1).
