F^1(x)=2x-16 To find the interverse interchange the variable and solve for y
C. The number of times a dessert was offered at a special price.
We want to simplify √(-48).
Note that
i² = -1 by definition.
Therefore

Answer: c.
Firstly make the f(x) = x and x = y:
x = y^2
Then solve for y:
√x = y
Hopefully this helps and let me know if you have more questions!
1.
the x value of the vertex in form
ax^2+bx+c=y
is
-b/2a
so
-2x^2+8x-18
x value of vertex is
-8/(2*-2)=-8/-4=2
plug it in to get y value
-2(2)^2+8(2)-18
-2(4)+16-18
-8-2
-10
vertex is at (2,-10)
or you could complete the square to get into y=a(x-h)^2+k, where the vertex is (h,k)
so as follows
y=(-2x^2+8x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4)-18
y=-2((x-2)^2-4)-18
y=-2(x-2)^2+8-18
y=-2(x-2)^2-10
vertex is (2,-10)

vertex is the time where the speed is the highest
at about t=10, the speed is at its max
