Answer: 1-p --- 15 shots;

              2-p --- 30 shots;

              3-p --- 2 shots

Explanation:  If we start from the given data, that 15 more 2-pointer shots (field goals) than 1-pointer foul shots and there were 47 baskets in total, then with x we ​​can represent number of 1-p fouls shots and with (x + 15) number of 2-p field shots. Then the number of 3-p field shots can be found from the equation 3-p = 47 - x - (x + 15) = 32 - 2·x

1-p  ---  x

2-p ---  x + 15

3-p ---  32 - x

If we know that a total of 81 points have been scored, so no shots, then the following equation can be set

1·x + 2·(x + 15) + 3·(32 - 2·x) = 81

3·x + 30 + 96 - 6·x = 81

126 - 3·x = 81

45 = 3·x ⇒ x = 15, means the number of shots for 1-p is 15.

The number of shots for 2-p and 3-p can also be found as follows:

2-p ---- x + 15 = 15 + 15 = 30

3-p ---- 32 - 2·x = 32 - 2·30 = 32 - 30 = 2

Check: total number of shots: 1-p 15 + 2-p 30 + 3-p 2 = 47 number of shots  (baskets).

Also check: total number of points: 15 fouls shots points + 60 field 2-p points + 6 field 3-p points = 15 + 60 + 6 = 81

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a. Cooperative

b. Antagonistic

c. Cooperative

d. Antagonistic

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a control system that is responsible for controlling the body's unconscious functions (e.g., digestion, respiratory rate, heart rate, pupillary response, sexual arousal, etc). The ANS is divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system comprises nerves from the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord (responsible for fight or flight); whereas the parasympathetic nervous system is composed primarily of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves (responsible for controlling many of the body's functions when it is at rest). Moreover, antagonistic innervation occurs when an organ is controlled by two different types of nerves, i.e., dual innervation of the organ by both divisions of the ANS, where the effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are antagonistic (i.e., they oppose each other). On the other hand, there are situations where the dual innervation results in a unilateral cooperative response (for example, the urinary system is innervated by parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve fibers that exhibit cooperative effects).

Answer:

True!

Explanation:

During the Second World War (1939–1945), India was a part of the British Empire, with the British holding territories in India that included over six hundred autonomous Princely States. British India officially declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939.[1] The British Raj, as part of the Allied Nations, sent over two and a half million soldiers to fight under British command against the Axis powers. India also provided the base for American operations in support of China in the China Burma India Theater.

Indians fought with distinction throughout the world, including in the European theatre against Germany, in North Africa against Germany and Italy, in the South Asian region defending India against the Japanese and fighting the Japanese in Burma. Indians also aided in liberating British colonies such as Singapore and Hong Kong after the Japanese surrender in August 1945. Over 87,000 Indian soldiers (including those from modern day Pakistan, and Bangladesh) and 3 million civilians died in World War II.[2][3] Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, Commander-in-Chief, India, stated the British "couldn't have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn't had the Indian Army."[4][5]

Viceroy Linlithgow declared that India was at war with Germany without consultations with Indian politicians.[6] Political parties such as the Muslim League and the Hindu Mahasabha supported the British war effort while the largest and most influential political party existing in India at the time, the Indian National Congress, demanded independence before it would help Britain.[7][8] London refused, and when Congress announced a "Quit India" campaign in August 1942, tens of thousands of its leaders were imprisoned by the British for the duration. Meanwhile, under the leadership of Indian leader Subhash Chandra Bose, Japan set up an army of Indian POWs known as the Indian National Army, which fought against the British. A major famine in Bengal in 1943 led to 3 million deaths due to starvation, and a highly controversial issue remains regarding Churchill's decision to not provide emergency food relief.[9][10]

Indian participation in the Allied campaign remained strong. The financial, industrial and military assistance of India formed a crucial component of the British campaign against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.[11] India's strategic location at the tip of the Indian Ocean, its large production of armaments, and its huge armed forces played a decisive role in halting the progress of Imperial Japan in the South-East Asian theatre.[12] The Indian Army during World War II was one of the largest Allied forces contingents which took part in the North and East African Campaign, Western Desert Campaign. At the height of the second World War, more than 2.5 million Indian troops were fighting Axis forces around the globe.[13] After the end of the war, India emerged as the world's fourth largest industrial power and its increased political, economic and military influence paved the way for its independence from the United Kingdom in 1947.[14]
