Answer:

Each base angle would be equal to 36 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the base angle measurements, we need to note that both angles would be equal to each other because it is an isosceles triangle. So, we subtract the vertex angle and then we divide by 2 to get the base angle measurements.

180 - 108 = 72

72/2 = 36 degrees

How to determine if a function is even or odd calculus?

aalyn [17]

A function $f(x)$ is even if $f(-x)=f(x)$ , and is odd if $f(-x)=-f(x)$ .

Example:

$f(x)=x^2$ is even, since $f(-x)=(-x)^2=x^2=f(x)$ .

$g(x)=x^3-x$ is odd, since $g(-x)=(-x)^3-(-x)=-x^3+x=-(x^3-x)=-g(x)$ .
