Answer:

C. 37.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Olivia completes 12 laps in 15 minutes.

Find the unit rate. It is nothing time taken to complete 1 lap.

= 15/12

= 1.25 minutes

Step 2: Now find the time taken to complete 30 laps.

Multiply 30 by 1.25

= 30 *1.25

= 37.5 minutes.

Thank you. :)

Answer:

C. 37.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a proportion to help you figure this out.

12/15=30/x (in this proportion, the number of laps are both on the numerator and the time it takes her is on the denomiator.)

Now, just cross multiply and your equations should be: 12·x=15·30, which equals to 12x=450.

Divide 12 on both sides and x=37.5

What are the solutions to the system of equations graphed below?

Finger [1]

You haven't provided the graph, therefore, I cannot give an exact answer.
However, I will help you with the concept.

A solution to a system of equations would be one or more order pairs that satisfy ALL equations given in the system.

There are two ways to get the solution of a system of equations:
1- algebraically: 
This would be by solving the equations in the system simultaneously using elimination/substitution,...etc

2- graphically:
This would be by graphing all the equations given in the system and finding the points of intersection between the graphs.
Note that:
If the given system has two equations, then we need to find the point(s) of intersection between the two graphs
If the given system has three equations, then we need to find the point(s) of intersection between the three graphs

Therefore, for your question, all you have to do is find the point(s) of intersection between your graphs.

Hope this helps:)

Write the function notation for the transformation that would change f(x) to have a vertical

koban [17]

Function is $4 - \frac{f(x)}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a function notation for the transformation that would change f(x) to have a vertical compression by a factor of $\frac{1}{8}$ , reflection over the x axis, up 6 and right 2.

Step 1:

Vertical compression by a factor $\frac{1}{8}$ , this means decreasing value of function by a factor of $\frac{1}{8}$ . Function becomes $\frac{f(x)}{8}$ .
