In one football game, a team scored 24 points with a combination of six-point touchdowns, three-point field goals, and one-point "extra points." They made 2 more touchdowns than field goals, and 3 times as many "extra points" as field goals. Let x be the number of touchdowns, y be the number of field goals, and z be the number of "extra points." Write a system of equations that can be solved to find how many touchdowns, field goals, and "extra points" the team made. Do not solve your system.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Total score = 24 points

They made 2 more touchdowns than field goals, and 3 times as many "extra points" as field goals.

To find:

The system of equations for the given problem.

Solution:

Let x be the number of touchdowns.

y be the number of field goals.

z be the number of "extra points."

Total score is 24 points. So,

[tex]x+y+z=24[/tex]

They made 2 more touchdowns than field goals.

[tex]x=y+2[/tex]

They made 3 times as many "extra points" as field goals.

[tex]z=3y[/tex]

Therefore, the required system of equation is

[tex]x+y+z=24[/tex]

[tex]x=y+2[/tex]

[tex]z=3y[/tex]

A woman standing on a large rock at the edge of a lake is getting ready to swing from a rope that is tied to a branch that hangs over the water. The length of the rope the woman is holding is 7.3 m long. The woman hopes to land in the water at a point that is 13.7 m away from where she stands on the large rock. The angle between the point where the rope is tied and her landing spot in the water is 89°. What is the distance between the the point where the rope is tied and the point where she wants to land to the nearest tenth of a metre.

Answers

Answer:

6.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The image attached is a representation of the question. to the river hence the distance between the place where she landed and the rock where she was standing must be horizontal. We are now required to find the shortest vertical distance between the point where the rope was tied and the place where she wants to land.

Note that the woman used the rope to move down in

Applying the cosine rule;

[tex]c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} -2ab Cos C[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} = 13.7^{2} + 7.3^{2} - 2(13.7 *7.3) Cos 89o[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} = 6.4 m[/tex]

On her first science test, Whitney scored a 92%. On the second test, she scored an 80%. What is the approximate percent of decrease in her score?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease = 92 - 80 = 12

Percent of decrease in her score = [tex]\frac{12}{92}*100\\[/tex]

                                                       = [tex]\frac{1200}{92}\\[/tex]

A race dog is initially running at 10 m/s but is slowing down. How fast is the dog moving when its kinetic energy has been reduced by half?
5.37 m/s
7.07 m/s
5.00 m/s
6.10 m/s

Answers

Answer: 7.07 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the quiz and that was the correct answer 5 is wrong

The speed of the dog at half of its kinetic energy is 7.07 m/s. The correct option is (B).

What is Proportionality?

When two quantities have some dependence in their values they can be said proportional to each other.

It can be of two types such as direct and indirect.

The direct proportionality means the values of both the quantities are increasing or decreasing at the same time while the indirect proportionality implies value of one quantity is increasing while the other is decreasing.

Given that,

The present speed of the dog is 10 m/s.

Suppose the mass of the dog be m kg.

Since, the kinetic energy of an object is given as K = 1/2mv².

As per the question, the following expression can be written,

Initial energy, K₁ = 1/2m × 10²

                           = 50m

Final energy, K₂ = K₁/2

                           = 50m/2

                           = 25m

Using the expression for kinetic energy,

1/2mv² = 25m

=> v² = 50

=> v = √50

       = 7.07

Hence, the speed of the dog when its kinetic energy is reduced to half is 7.07 m/s.

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.
a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?
b. Which figure has 37 tiles?
c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.

a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?

In figure 0, we let x=0

y = 5*0+7 = 0+7 = 7

b. Which figure has 37 tiles?

This means y = 37

37 = 5x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

37-7 = 5x+7-7

30 = 5x

Divide by 5

30/5 = 5x/5
