The Groves basketball team did not record how many baskets were made by each player during the last game. Daniel remembers that he made three times as many baskets as Ben. Max knows that he made six more baskets than Ben. Mitchell is sure that he made fewer baskets than Ben. Christion is sure that he made the same number of baskets as Mitchell. Altogether the five players made 40 baskets. How many baskets did each player make?

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

Ben = 6Max = 12Mitchell = 2Christion = 2Daniel = 18

Each count above refers to the number of baskets made for the given player.

====================================================

Explanation:

For each player, let the following variables represent how many baskets were made

B = BenM = MaxT = MitchelC = ChristionD = Daniel

So for example, if D = 10, then this means Daniel made 10 baskets. Though for now, we're not sure what number replaces D or any given letter.

------------------

"Daniel remembers that he made three times as many baskets as Ben" tells us that D = 3B is one equation

We know another equation is M = B+6 since Max made six more baskets than Ben

Another equation is C = T because these two students (Christion and Mitchell) made the same number of baskets.

We also know that T < B since Mitchell made fewer baskets compared to Ben.

Altogether the boys made 40 baskets total, so B+M+T+C+D = 40

-------------------

We have these five mathematical statements

D = 3BM = B+6C = TT < BB+M+T+C+D = 40

Let's focus on the last equation

B+M+T+C+D = 40

B+M+T+C+3B = 40 .... plug in D = 3B

4B+M+T+C = 40

4B+M+T+T = 40 .... plug in C = T

4B+M+2T = 40

4B+B+6+2T = 40 .... plug in M = B+6

5B+6+2T = 40

5B+2T = 40-6

5B+2T = 34

Now let's solve for T

5B+2T = 34

2T = 34-5B

2T = -5B+34

T = (-5B+34)/2

T = (-5B)/2 + 34/2

T = -2.5B + 17

----------------------------------

We've eliminated everything but two variables at this point.

Let's say that x replaced B and y replaces T

We get the equation y = -2.5x + 17

If you graph this equation along with y = x, you'll find that the two equations intersect at roughly (4.857, 4.857)

Since we want T < B, this means we want y < x to be the case. The line y = -2.5x+17 goes downhill as we move from left to right. If x is smaller than 4.857, then x >= y. Otherwise, if x is larger than 4.857, then y < x

Furthermore, looking at a table of values for this equation shows that only (x,y) = (6,2) is a point on y = -2.5x+17 such that both x and y are positive and x is the larger value, and they are both integer coordinates.

All of this means that when B = 6, this pairs with T = 2. No other number pair is possible for these two students.

We then use this to find the other player's basket count

D = 3B = 3*6 = 18M = B+6 = 6+6 = 12C = T = 2

----------------------------------

So we have the following results

B = 6M = 12T = 2C = 2D = 18

As a check,

B+M+T+C+D = 6+12+2+2+18 = 40

which confirms our answers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ben: 6Daniel: 18Max: 12Mitchell: 2Christion: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent baskets made by Ben and Mitchell, respectively. Then Daniel made 3x baskets, Max made (x+6) baskets, and Christion made y baskets. The total number is ...

  x + 3x +(x+6) +y +y = 40

  5x +2y = 34 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

The other constraint on the solution is ...

  y < x . . . . . . . . . Mitchell made fewer baskets than Ben

__

We can see that 34 differs from a multiple of 5 by an even number, so (by inspection) we determine that (x, y) = (6, 2) is a solution to the equation. (It is also a solution to the inequality.)

Other possible solutions will require y increase by 5 as x decreases by 2, so those are ...

  (x, y) = {(6, 2), (4, 7), (2, 12), (0, 17)}

The only (x, y) pair that satisfies the inequality is the first one: (x, y) = (6, 2). Hence the numbers of baskets are ...

Ben: 6Daniel: 18Max: 12Mitchell: 2Christion: 2
The Groves Basketball Team Did Not Record How Many Baskets Were Made By Each Player During The Last Game.

Answer:

Algebra (from Arabic: الجبر‎ al-jabr, meaning "reunion of broken parts"[1] and "bonesetting"[2]) is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols;[3] it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.[4] It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields. The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra. Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics. Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.

Elementary algebra differs from arithmetic in the use of abstractions, such as using letters to stand for numbers that are either unknown or allowed to take on many values.[5] For example, in {\displaystyle x+2=5}x+2=5 the letter {\displaystyle x}x is an unknown, but applying additive inverses can reveal its value: {\displaystyle x=3}x=3. In E = mc2, the letters {\displaystyle E}E and {\displaystyle m}m are variables, and the letter {\displaystyle c}c is a constant, the speed of light in a vacuum. Algebra gives methods for writing formulas and solving equations that are much clearer and easier than the older method of writing everything out in words.

The word algebra is also used in certain specialized ways. A special kind of mathematical object in abstract algebra is called an "algebra", and the word is used, for example, in the phrases linear algebra and algebraic topology.

A mathematician who does research in algebra is called an algebraist.

Answer:

[tex]2x^2-6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation has a root at a certain point, the x value must equal. zero.  If we want to have the function reach 6 and -6 as roots:

x = 6

x - 6 = 0

x = -6

x + 6 = 0

Combining the two we get (x+6)(x-6) which will give us a quadratic equation.

Expanding: [tex]x^2-6x+6x-6 = x^2-6[/tex]

The leading coefficient is the number before the variable with the highest power, which is 2: [tex]2x^2-6[/tex]

A cellular phone network uses towers to

transmits by the tower is represented by (x-5)2 +
ly-1)2 = 22. Can you identify if you are inside or
outside of the circular area, if your coordinate
location is (6,0)? How about if your location is
(8,2)?​

Answers

Answer:

Both [tex](6,\, 0)[/tex] and [tex](8,\, 2)[/tex] are inside this circular area.

[tex](6 - 5)^{2} + (0 - 1)^{2} = 2 < 22[/tex].

[tex](8 - 5)^{2} + (2 - 1)^{2} = 10 < 22[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for a circle in 2D, with center [tex](a,\, b)[/tex] and radius [tex]r[/tex]:

[tex](x - a)^{2} + (y - b)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex].

Compare this expression with the one from this question:

[tex](x - 5)^{2} + (y - 1)^{2} = 22 = \left(\sqrt{22}\right)^{2}[/tex].

Hence: [tex]a = 5[/tex], [tex]b = 1[/tex], and [tex]r = \sqrt{22}[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]\! (5,\, 1)[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{22}[/tex] would be the center and the radius of the circle [tex](x - 5)^{2} + (y - 1)^{2} = 22[/tex].

A point is inside a circle if and only the Euclidean distance between that point and the center of that circle is smaller than the radius of the circle. That is the same as requiring that the square of the Euclidean distance between these two points to be smaller than the square of the radius of the circle.

Formula for the Euclidean distance between [tex](x_1,\, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,\, y_2)[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^{2} + (y_1 - y_2)^{2}}[/tex].

The square of the Euclidean distance between these two points would be:

[tex]\displaystyle (x_1 - x_2)^{2} + (y_1 - y_2)^{2}[/tex].

Calculate the square of the distance between [tex](6,\, 0)[/tex] and the center of the circle, [tex](5,\, 1)[/tex].

[tex](6 - 5)^{2} + (0 - 1)^{2} = 2[/tex].

The square of this distance is smaller than [tex]22[/tex], the square of the radius of this circle. Hence, the point [tex](6,\, 0)[/tex] is inside this circle.

Similarly, calculate the square of the distance between [tex](8,\, 2)[/tex] and the center of the circle, [tex](5,\, 1)[/tex].

[tex](8 - 5)^{2} + (2 - 1)^{2} = 10[/tex].

The square of this distance is smaller than [tex]22[/tex], the square of the radius of this circle. Hence, the point [tex](8,\, 2)[/tex] is also inside this circle.

Notice that the point [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] is on the 2D circle [tex](x - a)^{2} + (y - b)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex] if and only if [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] satisfy the equation of that circle.

On the other hand, [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] is inside this circle if and only [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] satisfy the inequality [tex](x - a)^{2} + (y - b)^{2} < r^{2}[/tex].

Both [tex](6,\, 0)[/tex] and [tex](8,\, 2)[/tex] satisfy the inequality [tex](x - 5)^{2} + (y - 1)^{2} < 22[/tex]. Hence, both points are inside the circle [tex](x - 5)^{2} + (y - 1)^{2} = 22[/tex].
