In a basketball game, Team A defeated Team B with a score of 97 to 63. Team A won by scoring a combination of two-point baskets,

three-point baskets, and one-point free throws. The number of two-point baskets was 11 more than the number of free throws. The number of free throws was three less than the number of three-point baskets. What combination of scoring accounted for the Team A's 97 points?

Answer:

14 free throw baskets , 25 two point baskets and 11 three point baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n₁ represent the number of free-throw baskets, n₂ represent the number of two point baskets and n₃ represent the number of three point baskets.

Now, from the question, the number of two point baskets, n₂ is greater than the free throw baskets by 11. This is written as n₂ = n₁ + 11. Also, the number of three point baskets n₃ is three less than the number of free point baskets. This is written as n₃ = n₂ - 3. Since our total number of points equals 97, it follows that, sum of number of points multiplied by each point equals 97. So, ∑(number of points × each point) = 97. Thus,

n₁ + 2n₂ + 3n₃ = 97. Substituting n₂ and n₃ from above, we have n₁ +2(n₁ + 11) + 3(n₁ - 3) = 97.

Expanding the brackets, we have, n₁ + 2n₁ + 22 + 3n₁ - 9 = 97

collecting like terms, we have 6n₁ + 13 = 97

6n₁ = 97 - 13

6n₁ = 84

dividing through by n₁ we have, n₁ = 84/6 =14

so n₁ our free throw baskets equals 14. Substituting this into n₂ our number of two point baskets equals n₂ = n₁ + 11 = 14 + 11 = 25. Our number of three point baskets n₃ = n₁ - 3. So, n₃ = 14 -3 = 11.

ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals segment AC and segment BD. If AC = 2х + 10 and BD -=56, find the value of х." О23О33О 78 O 12
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

2x + 10 = 56         That minus sign can't be there. Subtract 10 from both sides.

2x  = 56 - 10         Combine

2x = 46                 Divide by 2

x = 46/2

x = 23

Find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).
Sophie [7]

ANSWER

9

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).

The given points have the same y-coordinates .

This means it is a horizontal line.

We use the absolute value method to find the distance between the two points.

We find the absolute value of the distance between the x-values.

The distance between the two points is

|3--6|=|3+6|=|9|=9

Which of these relations on the set {0, 1, 2, 3} are equivalence relations? If not, please give reasons why. (In other words, if
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

(1)Equivalence Relation

(2)Not Transitive, (0,3) is missing

(3)Equivalence Relation

(4)Not symmetric and Not Transitive, (2,1) is not in the set

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is said to be an equivalence relation if it satisfies the following conditions:

  • Reflexivity: If \forall x \in A, x \rightarrow x
  • Symmetry: \forall x,y \in A, $if x \rightarrow y,$ then y \rightarrow x
  • Transitivity: \forall x,y,z \in A, $if x \rightarrow y,$ and y \rightarrow z, $ then x \rightarrow z

(1) {(0,0), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

(3) {(0,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

The relations in 1 and 3 are Reflexive, Symmetric and Transitive. Therefore (1) and (3) are equivalence relation.

(2) {(0,0), (0,2), (2,0), (2,2), (2,3), (3,2), (3,3)}

In (2), (0,2) and (2,3) are in the set but (0,3) is not in the set.

Therefore, It is not transitive.

As a result, the set (2) is not an equivalence relation.

(4) {(0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,0), (2,2), (3,3)}

(1,2) is in the set but (2,1) is not in the set, therefore it is not symmetric

Also, (2,0) and (0,1) is in the set, but (2,1) is not, rendering the condition for transitivity invalid.

Luiza is jumping on a trampoline. Ht models her distance above the ground (in m) t seconds after she starts
Damm [24]

Answer:

t=2.08 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, in this example, H(t)=-0.6cos(2pi/2.5)t+1.5 should be equal to 1.2. If calculated, -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=1.2-1.5 which is equal to -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=-0.3, then cos(0.8pi)t=0.5. The value of cosine in terms of radians when it is equal to 0.5 is pi/3. So, cos(0.8pi)t=cos(pi/3). If simplified, (0.8pi)*t=5pi/3. pi's are cancelled out and t is calculated as 2.08333... If rounded to the nearest hundredth it is 2.08.
