Answer:

AB is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB+BC.

We know that BD=BC, BD=5x-26 and BC=2x+1. So set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x-26=2x+1

Subtract 2x from each side:

5x-26-2x = 2x+1-2x

3x-26 = 1

Add 26 to each side:

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x+1 = 2(9)+1 = 18+1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB+BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB+19

Subtract 19 from each side:

43-19 = AB+19-19

24 = AB

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.
