Answer:15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2 from 47 because each ride is $2 then divide 3 from 45 to get 15 miles $3 per mile to check you could multiply to 15 to get 45.

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

fredd [130]

Answer:

<em>Observe attached image</em>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)

<em>Axis of symmetry:</em>

<em> $x =4$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First factorize the function</u>

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

<em>Take -2 as a common factor.</em>

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

<em>Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$ </em>

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

<em><u>The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at </u></em><em>x = 3 and at x = 5.</em>

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

<u>Then the vertice is:</u>

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

<u>Then the axis of symmetry is the line</u>

$x = 4$

<u>The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:</u>

<em>Function zeros:</em>

(3, 0), (5, 0)

<em>Vertex:</em>

(4, 2)

A sleep time of 15.9 hours per day for a newborn baby is at the 10h percentile of the distribution of sleep times for all newbor

Step2247 [10]

The mean time in hours per day for newborn babies is 16.5 hours ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

A sleep time of 15.9 hours per day for a newborn baby is at the 10th

percentile of the distribution of sleep times for all newborn babies

Assuming the distribution is normal with a standard deviation of

0.5 hour

To find the mean time let us do that

1. Use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding z-score

for 10th percentile

2. Use the rule μ = x - zσ, where μ is the mean, σ is the standard

deviation and x is the score

3. Substitute the values of x, σ and z in the rule to find μ

Look to the normal distribution table to find z-score that equivalent

to the area = 10/100 = 0.1 (10th percentile)

∵ z-score = -1.28

∵ σ = 0.5 hour

∵ x = 15.9

∵ μ = x - zσ

- Substitute the values in the rule

∴ μ = 15.9 - (-1.28)(0.5)

∴ μ = 15.9 + 0.64

∴ μ = 16.54 ≅ 16.5 hours

The mean time in hours per day for newborn babies is 16.5 hours

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -8

Schach [20]

Answer:

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -8. That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).

Then the desired equation is

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)
