At the high school championship game, the Cougars beat the Lions 31 to 17. The total score came from 14 scoring plays. The scori

ng plays consisted of touchdowns, extra-point kicks, and field goals. Touchdowns are worth 6 points each, extra-point kicks are worth 1 point each, and field goals are worth 3 points each. The number of touchdowns was equal to the number of extra-point kicks. Write a linear system to represent this game. Use matrices to then solve the system. How many touchdowns, extra-point kicks, and field goals occurred in the game?

Answer:

Number of touchdowns = 2

Number of extra points = 2

Number of field goals = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the number of touchdowns be "x", number of extra points be "y" and number of field goals be "z".</em>

It is given that number of touchdowns = number of extra points.

Thus, x=y

Total points scored are 14.

Points scored by touch down are = (6)(x)

Points scored by extra points are = (1)(y) = x

Points scored by field goals are = (3)(z)

Thus, the equation becomes

6x+y+3z = 6x+x+3z=7x+3z = 14

In matrice form, they can be represented as;

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&1&3\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right] (14)

x= \frac{14-3z}{7}

now, x and z cannot be negative or fraction, only positive integers. Thus inserting values of z from 0 to 4,

The correct solution is x=y=2 and z=0.

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of GH with endpoints (-2,5) and<br> H(4,1)?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of 2 endpoints, G(-2, 5) and H(4, 1), midpoint of AB is calculated as shown below:

Midpoint (M) of GH, for G(-2, 5) and H(4, 1) is given as:

M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})

Let G(-2, 5) = (x_1, y_1)

H(4, 1) = (x_2, y_2)

Thus:

M(\frac{-2 + 4}{2}, \frac{5 + 1}{2})

M(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{6}{2})

M(1, 3)

Coordinates of the midpoint of GH = (1, 3).

The two triangles below are similar. What value of Q and B would make this true
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

  • ∠B = ∠Q = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The angles B and Q should be same, therefore:</u>

  • Q = 4x + 2 and B = 15x - 64

<u>The equation below as per above, solving for x:</u>

  • 4x + 2 = 15x - 64
  • 15x - 4x = 64 +2
  • 11x = 66
  • x = 6

<u>Then the angle measures:</u>

  • 4*6 + 2 = 26°
