a.
To find: and interpret the intercepts.
a.

Answer to Problem 28E
x -intercept =
y -intercept =
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total point scored by the team is modeled by the equation
To find the x -intercept substitute
Thus, the x -intercept is
Here, the x -intercept 27 means that 27 two-point baskets were made whereas none three-point baskets was made.
To find the y -intercept substitute
Thus, the y -intercept is
Here, the y -intercept 18 means that 18 three-point baskets were made whereas none two-point baskets was made.
b.
if the number of 3-point basket can be odd.
b.

Answer to Problem 28E
No
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total point scored by the team is modeled by the equation
The total point scored by the team is modeled by the equation
Here, the right hand side is 54 which is an even number.
Now, it is known that the sum of two number is even only if either both the numbers are even or both the numbers are odd.
In the left hand side of equation, the number
So, it implies that
But y is the number of 3-point baskets made.
Hence, number of 3-point basket can’t be odd.
c.
To graph: the equation and find two more possible solutions.
c.

Answer to Problem 28E
Two more solutions of the equation are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total point scored by the team is modeled by the equation
From part (a), x -intercept =
Plot these points and draw a line joining them.
That line gives the graph of the equation
Any point which lies on this line is the solution of the given equation.
So, two more solutions of the equation are

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees.
