<em>Answer:</em>
<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f </em>
<em>B)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>
<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>
<em>173,535.692770952 = X </em>
<em>C)</em>
<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>
<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
I believe the answer is 104.
Answer: B. neither
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
A function is even when f(x) = f(-x).
A function is odd when f(-x) = -f(x).
f(x) = 2x³ - x²
f(-x) = 2(-x)³ - (-x)²
= -2x³ - x²
f(x) = 2x³ - x² ≠ f(-x) = -2x³ - x² so it is NOT EVEN
-f(x) = -(2x³ - x²)
= -2x³ + x²
f(-x) = -2x³ - x² ≠ -f(x)= -2x³ + x² so it is NOT ODD
Therefore, it is NEITHER even nor odd.
