BASKETBALLHow many seconds does a PROFESSIONAL team have to shoot before a shot clock violation?

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now

step-by-step explanation:

d: (13,-1)

step-by-step explanation:

we know the starting point is (1,5)

the ending point is (x,y)   (cristians house)

the total distance is 6 units (5: 1)  

the fast food restaurant is at (11,0) and is 5/6ths of the way from the starting point to the ending point

ending minus starting point * 5/6   is how far they went

(x-1) *5/6, (y-5) * 5/6

we then need to add the starting point to determine the location

5/6(x-1) + 1, (y-5) * 5/6 + 5

this equals the fast food location of 11,0

setting the x locations equal

5/6 (x-1) +1 =11

subtracting 1 from each side

5/6 (x-1) +1-1 =11-1

5/6(x-1) =10

multiplying by 6/5 on each side

6/5*5/6(x-1) = 10*6/5

x-1 =12

add 1 to each side

x-1+1 =12+1

x=13

do the same for the y coordinate

(y-5) * 5/6 + 5 =0

subtract 5 from each side

(y-5) * 5/6 + 5-5 =0-5

5/6 (y-5) = -5

multiplying by 6/5 on each side

6/5*5/6 (y-5) = -5 *6/5

y-5 = -6

add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -6+5

y=-1

the ending point , or the coordinates of cristians house is

(13,-1)
