During the 2009-2010 season, inter milan of the Italian series A scored 82 points on 38 rounds. For each round of the game, the winning team would receive 3 points, while the losing team would get 0 points. But if the game ends up in a tie, each team would get 1 point. Inter Milan won 20 more rounds than they lost. Use a matrix to find how many of each type of shot they made

Inter milan had 24 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n₁ = number of wins, n₂ = number of draws and n₃ = number of number of losses. Let W = win points = 3, L = loss points = 0 and D = draw points = 1 Since we have our total number of points a 82, then

n₁W + n₂D + n₃L = 82

3n₁ + n₂ + 0n₃ = 82   (1)

Also, since there are 38 points in total, we have that

n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 38    (2)

Also, we have 20 more win points than loss points. So,

n₁ = n₃ + 20

n₁ + 0n₂ - n₃ = 20 (3)

We have 3 equations. We now write them in matrix form below.

In the form AX = B, where A =  

Using cramer's rule, n₁ =

= 82((-1 × 1) - 0 × 1) - 1((38 × -1)- (20 × 1)) + 0((38 × 0) - 20 × 1) ÷ 3((-1 × 1) - 0 × 1) - 1((-1 × 1) - 1 × 1) + 0(1 × 0 + 1 × 1)

= (-82 + 58 + 0)/(-3 + 2 + 0)

=  -24/-1

= 24

n₂ =

= 3((38 × -1)- (20 × -1)) - 82((-1 × 1) - 1 × 1)  + 0(20 × 1 - (38 × 1) ) ÷ 3((-1 × 1) - 0 × 1) - 1((-1 × 1) - 1 × 1) + 0(1 × 0 + 1 × 1)

= (-174 + 164 + 0)/(-3 + 2 + 0)

=  -10/-1

= 10

n₃ =  

= 3((1 × 20)- (0 × 38)) - 1((1 × 20) - 1 × 38)  + 82(1 × 0 - (1 × 1) ) ÷ 3((-1 × 1) - 0 × 1) - 1((-1 × 1) - 1 × 1) + 0(1 × 0 + 1 × 1)

= (60 + 18 - 82)/(-3 + 2 + 0)

=  -4/-1

= 4

So, Inter milan had 24 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses.

its an acute right triangle

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
