5 0

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made

:

1) x + y = 26

:

2) 2x + 3y = 60

:

solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2

:

x = 26 - y

:

2(26 - y) +3y = 60

:

52 -2y +3y = 60

:

y = 8

:

x = 26 - 8 = 18

:

The team made 18 2-point shots

In this unit, you worked with geometric proofs. A proof is a logical sequence of justified conclusions that lead from a hypothes
alisha [4.7K]

Mathematical proofs are important because they help to explain concepts. They also serve as concrete validation for a mathematical result or statement.

  • In geometry, an incorrect conclusion within a proof might lead to wrong estimations of size, length, and other spatial properties.
  • Algebra, topology, arithmetics, calculus, and statistics are some other branches of mathematics. In statistics, an incorrect conclusion within a proof might lead to the wrong interpretation of bulky data. Statistical properties like the mean, median, and mode can be misinterpreted.
  • Businesses that rely on statistics for production and forecasting might be affected.

<h3>What is a Mathematical proof?</h3>

A proof in mathematics is a number of conclusions that lead to the justification of a final statement.

Having incorrect mathematical proofs can be dangerous because it will cause the misinterpretation of concepts and the obtaining of wrong results.

Write two polynomials with a difference of 2x2 + x + 3
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The two polynomial CAN be 5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6 and 5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: <u>Simplify the expression:</u>

2*2 + x + 3

4+x+3

x+7

Step 2: <u>Think of a random polynomial:</u>

5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6

Step 3: <u>Either add your "random polynomial" by </u>x+7<u> or subtract it.</u>

<u>I want to add it so...</u>

5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6+x+7

= 5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13

 Check by subtracting  5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6 and 5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13.

         5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+2x+13

   -      5x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+6

        _____________________

         0x^4 - 0x^3 -0x^2 +x +7 <em><u>or  </u></em>x+7<em><u /></em>

Triangle ABC is inscribed in the circle, mA=50, and AB=BC. Find arch AC.
Karolina [17]

The answer is C) 160.

We know this because if mA = 50, we know that mC must also be 50. This is due to the fact that AB = BC. This leaves us with mB as 80 since the angles of a triangle always have to equal 180.

Now knowing this, it is easy to find the arc lengths in degrees. When you have a transcribed triangle, all we are going to do here is double the angle of the triangle to get the arc measure.

mB = 80

80*2 = 160
