when it comes to checking if a function is even or odd, it boils down to changing the argument, namely x = -x, and if the <u>resulting function is the same as the original</u>, then is even, if the <u>resulting function is the same as the original but negative</u>, is odd, if neither, well then neither :).
anyway, that said, let's first expand it and then plug in -x,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing figure is attached.
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.
You can identify in the figure that:
Then, knowing the perimeter of the rectangle, you can make the subsitution into the formula:
Now you must simplify and solve for "z"
Finally, substituting the value of "z" into , you get:
