Answer:

  a. even

  b. odd

  c. odd

  d. even

Step-by-step explanation:

We suppose that "prove algebraically" means that you are to substitute -x for x in each equation and show that f(x) = -f(-x) for an odd function, and that f(x) = f(-x) for an even function.

It is easier to do this generically, so that you can make use of the rule that ...

  • if a polynomial function consists only of even-degree terms, it is an even function
  • if a polynomial function consists only of odd-degree terms, it is an odd function

__

So, for even-degree, we can assume that the polynomial is of the form ...

  f(x) = ax^2 + b

Then we have ...

  f(-x) = a(-x)^2 +b = (-1)^2·ax^2 +b = ax^2 +b

or ...

  f(-x) = f(x) . . . . regardless of the values of "a" and "b"

__

For an odd-degree function, we can assume that the polynomial is of the form ...

  g(x) = x·f(x) . . . . where f(x) is of even degree

Then ...

  g(-x) = -x·f(-x) = -x·f(x) . . . . since f(x) = f(-x) as shown above

or

  g(-x) = -g(x) . . . . . . . . regardless of the coefficients in f(x)

__

a. f(x) matches the form of our even-degree f(x) above, so is even.

b. g(x) matches the form of our odd-degree g(x) above (with a=0), so is odd.

c. h(x) = x(5x^2 -1) matches the form of our odd-degree g(x), so is odd.

d. f(x) matches the form of our even-degree f(x) above, so is even.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

For part (b), we have assumed that "x +1x" means 2x. If it is supposed to be something else, it needs to be properly written. (x+1/x is an odd function, because -x+1/(-x) = -(x +1/x).)

Can someone explain to me how to round to the nearest 10 dollars?
Leni [432]
Pinpoint the ten's place.
look at the one's place. It is a digit ≥5, round up. If it is digit <5, round down.
all the digits to the right of the ten's place becomes 0.
for example, if you are given $216.23, the ten's place is a 1. Look at the number to the right of it, the one's place is a 6, bigger than 5, so you round up, the 1 becomes a 2. the result is $220.00
if you are given $214.23, the 1 stays a 1 because 4 is smaller than 5, the result is $210.00

a beverage is made by mixing 3 parts of water with 5 parts of fruit juice how many parts of water are mixed with 1 part on fruit
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}=0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initial ratio of 3 parts water to 5 parts fruit juice, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to determine the amount of water needed with just 1 part of fruit juice:

\frac{water}{fruit}=\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{1}

cross multiply: 5x = 3

divide: 5x/5 = 3/5 or x = 3/5

3/5 = 0.6 parts water
