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.

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

Answer:

  • The center (2, 2.5), radius \sqrt{37} / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The standard form of the equation of a circle is: </u>

  • ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2, where ( h, k ) is the center and r is the radius

<u>Rewrite the given equation in the standard form:</u>

  • 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 8x + 10y + 2 = 0
  • x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 5y = -1
  • x^2 - 4x + 2^2 + y^2 + 5y + (5/2)^2 = -1 + 4 + 25/4
  • (x - 2)^2 + (y + 2.5)^2 = 37/4

<u>The center is:</u>

  • (2, 2.5)

<u>And radius is:</u>

  • <u />\sqrt{37} / 2

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, one going northwest (bearing 135°) at 421 mph and the other going east at 384 m
Papessa [141]
I am not sure if I am correct.
I think that the angles did not help to solve the problem, ( it makes an obtuse angle)
and the unit rate is 421 mph and 384 mph.

2*421+384*2= 1610 miles
or
2 (421+384)= 1610 miles


Answer: 1610 miles

Suppose you choose a team of two people from a group of n &gt; 1 people, and your opponent does the same (your choices are allow
jonny [76]

Answer:

The number of possible choices of my team and the opponents team is

 \left\begin{array}{ccc}n-1\\E\\n=1\end{array}\right     i^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

selecting the first team from n people we have \left(\begin{array}{ccc}n\\1\\\end{array}\right)  = n possibility and choosing second team from the rest of n-1 people we have \left(\begin{array}{ccc}n-1\\1\\\end{array}\right) = n-1

As { A, B} = {B , A}

Therefore, the total possibility is \frac{n(n-1)}{2}

Since our choices are allowed to overlap, the second team is \frac{n(n-1)}{2}

Possibility of choosing both teams will be

\frac{n(n-1)}{2}  *  \frac{n(n-1)}{2}  \\\\= [\frac{n(n-1)}{2}] ^{2}

We now have the formula

1³ + 2³ + ........... + n³ =[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}] ^{2}

1³ + 2³ + ............ + (n-1)³ = [x^{2} \frac{n(n-1)}{2}] ^{2}

=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n-1\\E\\i=1\end{array}\right] =   [\frac{n(n-1)}{2}]^{3}
