The time for the teacup to last is D. m = 3.5 minutes.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression is the statement that illustrates that the variables given. In this case, two or more components are taken into consideration to describe the scenario.

Let the number of minutes be m.

The amount of time is one minute more than twice the length of time for the teacup ride. This will be:

= (2 × m ) + 1 = 8

2m - 1 = 8

Collect like terms

2m = 8 - 1

2m = 7

Divide

m = 7/2

m = 3.5

The correct option is D.

Answer:

d) m = 3.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the time the teacup ride last.

Forming the equation,

→ 2m + 1 = 8

Then the value of m will be,

→ 2m + 1 = 8

→ 2m = 8 - 1

→ m = 7/2

→ [ m = 3.5 min ]

Hence, ride lasts for 3.5 min.

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

inn [45]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor the function $f(x)=-2x^2+16x-30:$

$f(x)=-2x^2+16x-30=-2x^2+6x+10x-30=-2x(x-3)+10(x-3)=-2(x-3)(x-5).$

2. The zeros (or the solutions of the equation f(x)=0) are x=3 and x=5. So? points (3,0) and (5,0) are the points on the graph that are the solutions of the equation.

3. Find the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{16}{2\cdot (-2)}=4,\\ \\y_v=-2\cdot 4^2+16\cdot 4-30=-32+64-30=2.$
