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.

Last Question

Because this may not be the question you want, I'll omit the first step which should be done with latex. The key to all of these except C is to invert the second fraction (turn the second fraction upside down) and multiply.

A

\dfrac{6}{5} * \dfrac{-2}{3}

=(6*-2) / (5*3) = - 12/15 = -4/5

B

\dfrac{7}{4} *\dfrac{5}{3}

= (7*5) / (4*3) = 35 / 12 = 2 11/12

C

Impossible to do 4/0 cannot be done.

D

\dfrac{-2}{3} /\dfrac{-5}{4}=\dfrac{-2}{3} *\dfrac{-4}{5}

= (-2*-4)/(3*5) =

8/15
