The function f(x)= 1/x^2 is even. Hope that helps!
Given:
Consider the expression
simplifies to
.
To find:
The value of a.
Solution:
We have,

Using distributive property, we get

On comparing the coefficients of
from both sides, we get


Therefore, the value of a is 6.
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>x = 3</em>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>5(x - 2) – x – 5 = -3</em>
<em>5x - 10 - x - 5 = - 3</em>
<em>5x - x = 10 + 5 - 3</em>
<em>4x = 12</em>
<em>x = 12 : 4</em>
<em>x = 3</em>
