Answer:

31 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 equations modelling the situation are

x + y = 37 → (1)

2x + 3y = 80 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding the result to (2) will eliminate x

- 2x - 2y = - 74 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 + y = 6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1) and solve for x

x + 6 = 37 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 31

Then 2- point shots = 31 , 3- point shots = 6

Answer:

2-point shots: 31

3-point shots: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system of equations, we can use the method of elimination. We can start by multiplying the equation x + y = 37 by 2 in order to get the x terms to cancel out in the next step(They can do that because we are making them the same value, 2x). So, we get:

2(x + y) = 2(37)

2x + 2y = 74

Now, we can subtract the equation 2x + 2y = 74 from the equation 2x + 3y = 80 in order to make a one-variable equation:

2x + 3y = 80

-(2x + 2y) = -(74)

y = 6

We can plug in the value of y in one of the equations to find x:

x + (6) = 37

x = 31

Since x stands for the amount of 2-point shots and y for the 3-point shots, we can say:

2-point shots: 31

3-point shots: 6

Using a sample of 60 undergraduates, Dr. Hotchkins discovers a negative correlation between stress and emotional well-being. Whi
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer and explanation:

A negative correlation means a relationship between two variables whereby each variable affects the other such that an increase in one variable means a decrease in the other and vice versa. This is the situation with the correlation graph/scatter plot of Dr. Hotchkins: An increase in stress would cause a decrease in emotional well being and vice versa

An Outlier is a data point on the scatter plot that does not fall into the pattern of the correlation graph. From the above, 4 points are outliers: extremely high points on stress and emotional well being. These points would affect (increase or decrease) the correlation coefficient depending on where they fall in the pattern. In this case there are 4 outliers out of 60 data points and we know that the more outliers there are the more effect they have on the correlation coefficient and vice versa(also depending on where the outlier is on the scatter plot)

Lim x approaches 0 (1+2x)3/sinx
jok3333 [9.3K]

Interpreting your expression as

\dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}

when x approaches zero, the numerator approaches 3:

3(1+2x) \to 3(1+2\cdot 0) = 3(1+0) = 3\cdot 1 = 3

The denominator approaches 0, because \sin(0)=0

Moreover, we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^-} \sin(x) = 0^-,\quad \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+} \sin(x) = 0^+

So, the limit does not exist, because left and right limits are different:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^-} \dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}= \dfrac{3}{0^-} = -\infty,\quad \displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+}\dfrac{3(1+2x)}{\sin(x)}= \dfrac{3}{0^+} = +\infty

Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 21
stira [4]

Answer:

6 + 7 + 8 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

6, 7, and 8 are consecutive integers.

6 + 7 is 13. 13 + 8 = 21. So, 6 + 7 + 8 are consecutive integers that equal 21.
