In the last quarter of a high school football game, your team i s behind by 21 points. A field goal is worth 3 points and a touc

hdown (after the extra point is worth 7 points. Let x represent the number of field goals scored and y represent the number of touchdowns scored. Write an inequality that models the different number of field goals and touchdowns your team could score to win the game. (Assume the other team doesn't score any more points.)​

Answer:

3x + 7y > 21

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7y > 21

where:

x = number of field goals needed to win

y = number of touchdowns (plus extra point) needed to win

Since your team is 21 points behind and you want to win the game, not tie it, the number of field goals and touchdowns must result in a number higher than 21, not equal to or higher than.

Which equation can be solved by using this expression?
Marat540 [252]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. 2 = 3x + 10x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to determine whether which of the given equations in the answer options can be solved using the following expression:

x=\frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2+4(10)(2)} }{2(10)}

Here, a = 10, b = 3 and c=-2.

These requirements are fulfilled by the equation 4 which is:

12=3x+10x^2

Rearranging it to get:

10x^2+3x-2=0

Substituting these values of a,b,c in the quadratic formula:

x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x= \frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(10)(-2)} }{y}

A student uses the method of successive approximations to estimate a positive solution of f(x) = g(x), where f(x) = x2 + 10 and
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The next number selected should be between 2 and 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

x. x    f(x)             g(x)

0        10               17

1           11              19

2          14              21

3          19              23

4         26             25

3.5      22.25        24

<u>2.5      16.25         22</u>

1.5       12.25        20

0.5       10.25       18

We see the pattern that it is increasing with only a unit. The last given data is mid of the last two values that is 3 and 4.

So the next value would be the mid of the next last two values that is 2 and 3 and will be 2.5

Now it is moving in the reverse direction in the same pattern  with a difference of a unit.
