3x is greater than or equal to -18. You would divide each side by 3 to get x alone. Then You will get what x stands for. (x= -6)
It is neither.
To be even, f(x) must equal f(-x).
If you substitute -x for x, you'd get
y = (-x)^2 - 2(-x) -8
y = x^2 +2x -8
This is not the same as the original, so this is not even.
To be odd, f(x) must equal -f(-x).
If you take the -x substitution from the last step and then multiply it by -1, you'd have:
y = -1 (x^2 +2x -8)
y = -x^2 -2x +8
This is not the same as the original either.
The function is neither even nor odd.
Answer:
75°
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: SOH CAH TOA
Reference angle = ? = θ
Side length opposite to reference angle = 27
Hypotenuse length = 28
Apply SOH, which is:

Substitute


(nearest degree)
15/x = 20/100
15*100 = 20*x
1500 = 20x
1500/20 = 20x/20
75 = x
15/75 = 20/100
