James scored a total of 16 points during a basketball game. During the game, he made only free throws, worth 1 point each, and 3-point baskets. He made a total of 10 free-throws and 3-point baskets. Determine exactly how many free throws and how man 3-point basket James made during the game.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7 , y = 3 , or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

Step-by-step explanation:

James scored a total of 16 points during a basketball. Only free throws and 3-point baskets are used. Free throws = 1 point (x), 3-pointers = 3 points (y).

Set the equations:

16 = x + 3y

10 = x + y

First, isolate the variable x in the second equation. Divide y from both sides of the equation:

10 (-y) = x + y (-y)

x = 10 - y

Next, plug in 10 - y for x in the first equation:

16 = x + 3y

16 = (10 - y) + 3y

Simplify. Combine like terms:

16 = 10 - y + 3y

16 = 10 + (-y + 3y)

16 = 10 + 2y

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

16 (-10) = 10 (-10) + 2y

2y = 16 - 10

2y = 6

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2y)/2 = (6)/2

y = 6/2 = 3

Plug in 3 for y in one of the equations:

16 = x + 3y

16 = x + 3(3)

16 = x + 9

Isolate the variable, subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

16 (-9) = x + 9 (-9)

x = 16 - 9

x = 7

x = 7 , y = 3 , or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

Plug in to check:

16 = x + 3y

10 = x + y

16 = (7) + 3(3)

16 = 7 + 9

16 = 16 (True)

10 = (7) + (3)

10 = 10 (True).

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7 , y = 3  or 7 free throws, and 3 3-pointers.

All four triangular faces have an area of 12 m2.
There are two sets of opposite congruent triangular faces.
The base has an area of 30 m2.

Answers

Answer: Pyramid A: Base is rectangle with length of 10 meters and width of 20 meters.

Pyramid B: Base is square with 10 meter sides.

Heights are the same.

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of pyramid A is TWICE the volume of pyramid B.

If the height of pyramid B increases to twice the of pyramid A, (from 10m to 20m),  

V of square pyramid = (10m)² * (10*2)/3 = 100m² * 20m/3 = 100m² * 6.67m = 666.67 m³

The new volume of pyramid B is EQUAL to the volume of pyramid A.

Gerald has a bag of 10 colored balls: 3 green, 3 red, and the rest yellow. He randomly draws two balls, one at a time without replacement. Find the probability of drawing at least one yellow ball.

Answers

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that there are 10 balls of which 3 green, 3 red, and the rest yellow

Number of yellow balls = 10 - 3 - 3 = 4

Probability of picking a;

Green ball  = 3/10

Red ball = 3/10

Yellow ball = 4/10

If two balls are picked without replacement, the probability that one is at least yellow will be

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas of two triangles are 50cm²and 98cm²​.

We need to find the ratio of corresponding sides. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]\dfrac{s_1}{2_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}} \\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{50}{98}}\\\\=\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{49}}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

So, the ratio of corresponding sides are 5:7.

A mountain climber took 2 minutes to rappel down 60 feet. Which equation shows the correct calculation to show his movement per minute?

Answers

Answer:

–60 ÷ 2 = –30

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the equation that shows the correct calculation to show his movement per minute

Using this formula

Speed rate = Distance / Time

Where,

Distance=-60 ft

Time =2 min

Let plug in the formula

Speed rate = -60 ft /2 min

Speed rate = -30

Based on the information given we were told that the climber rappel DOWN which is why the distance was negative.

Therefore the equation that shows the correct calculation to show his movement per minute is –60 ÷ 2 = –30

What is trigonometric ratio?

Trigonometric ratios are the ratios of the length of sides of a triangle.

These ratios in trigonometry relate the ratio of sides of a right triangle to the respective angle.

The basic trigonometric ratios formulas are given below,

sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

cos θ = Base/Hypotenuse

tan θ = Perpendicular/Base

sec θ = Hypotenuse/Base

cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Perpendicular

cot θ = Base/Perpendicular

According to the question

In right angle triangle ACB

Base BC= 22.9

Perpendicular AC = 14.1

now , using trigonometric ratio

tan ∠B  = [tex]\frac{AC}{BC}[/tex]

tan ∠B  = [tex]\frac{14.1}{22.9}[/tex]

∠B  = [tex]tan^{-1} 0.615[/tex]

∠B  = 31.6

Hence, The measure of  ∠B   is 31.6 .

Calcule el valor de la fuerza que experimenta un ascensor cuando levanta 150 kg en los siguientes casos: a) Cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 m/s2 b) Cuando asciende con una aceleración de 6 m/s2 c) Explique: ¿Por qué el ascensor experimenta diferentes aceleraciones si levanta el mismo peso en ambos casos?

Answers

Answer:

a) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) Por la fuerza de tensión sobre el cable del ascensor.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) La fuerza neta experimentada por el ascensor ([tex]F[/tex]), en newtons, es:

[tex]F = m\cdot a[/tex] (1)

Donde:

[tex]m[/tex] - Masa, en kilogramos.

[tex]a[/tex] - Aceleración, en metros por segundo cuadrado.

Si sabemos que [tex]m = 150\,kg[/tex] y [tex]a = 4\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

[tex]F = m\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]F = 600\,N[/tex]

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) Si sabemos que [tex]m = 150\,kg[/tex] y [tex]a = -6\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

[tex]F = m\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]F = -900\,N[/tex]

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) De manera simplificada, el ascensor experimenta dos fuerzas que definen la fuerza y aceleración netas: (i) La fuerza de tensión sobre el cable que traslada el ascensor y el peso total del ascensor, opuesta a la anterior y en función de la aceleración gravitacional. Puesto que la masa no varía en ningún caso, se concluye que el peso es constante, entonces la diferencia de valores se debe a la fuerza por tensión del cable. En el descenso, es fuerza es menor que en el ascenso.
