Answer:

The Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times, for a total score of 30 points. They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

We need to write and solve the system of equations to find the total touchdowns and field goals scored.

Let x represents the number of touchdowns.

Let y be the number of field goals.

It is given that the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times

$x+y=6$

$x=6-y$ ....(1)

They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

The total score is 30 points:

$7x+3y=30$ ...(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) into equation (2).

$7( 6-y)+3y=30$

$42-7y+3y=30$

$-4y=30-42$

$-4y=-12$

$y=3$

Put y = 3 in equation 1.

$x=6-3$

$x=3$

Hence, the Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

T what point does the curve have maximum curvature? Y = 7ex (x, y) = what happens to the curvature as x → ∞? Κ(x) approaches as

Nookie1986 [14]

Formula for curvature for a well behaved curve y=f(x) is

K(x)= $\frac{|{y}''|}{[1+{y}'^2]^\frac{3}{2}}$

The given curve is y=7 $e^{x}$

${y}''=7e^{x}\\ {y}'=7e^{x}$

k(x)= $\frac{7e^{x}}{[{1+(7e^{x})^2}]^\frac{3}{2}}$

${k(x)}'=\frac{7(e^x)(1+49e^{2x})(49e^{2x}-\frac{1}{2})}{[1+49e^{2x}]^{3}}$

For Maxima or Minima

${k(x)}'=0$

$7(e^x)(1+49e^{2x})(98e^{2x}-1)=0$

→ $e^{x}=0∨ 1+49e^{2x}=0∨98e^{2x}-1=0$

$e^{x}=0 , ∧ 1+49e^{2x}=0$ [not possible ∵there exists no value of x satisfying these equation]

→ $98e^{2x}-1=0$

Solving this we get

x= $-\frac{1}{2}\ln{98}$

As you will evaluate ${k(x})}''$ <0 at x= $-\frac{1}{2}\ln98$

So this is the point of Maxima. we get y=7×1/√98=1/√2

(x,y)=[ $-\frac{1}{2}\ln98$ ,1/√2]

k(x)= $\lim_{x\to\infty } \frac{7e^{x}}{[{1+(7e^{x})^2}]^\frac{3}{2}}$

k(x)= $\frac{7}{\infty}$

k(x)=0

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:

raketka [301]

Answer:

B) (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 7

y = 3x - 8

3x - 8 = -2x + 7

combine like terms:

5x = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 3

y = 3(3) - 8 = 1
