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:
4 hours and 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Marcus = x hours
Donnell = x + 3 hours
Total = 11 hours
- x + x + 3 = 11
- 2x + 3 = 11
- 2x = 8
- x = 4
So Marcus practiced 4 hours and Donnell practiced 7 hours
Answer:
10 and 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The difficulty with word problems is translating them into math.
Let's do that
---------------------
The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62.
let's call the bigger number b, and the smaller number s
b + 2s = 62
Three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116
3b = s + 116
-----------------------
Now manipulate one of the equations to isolate the variable
3b = s + 116
Subtract 116 from both sides
3b - 116 = s
substitute for s = 3b - 116 in
b + 2s = 62
b + 2(3b - 116) = 62
Distribute
b + 6b - 232 = 62
combine like terms
7b = 294
Divide both sides by 7
b = 42
to find s plug in b = 42 into
b + 2s = 62
42 + 2s = 62
subtract 42 from both side
2s = 20
divide both sides by 2
s = 10
I don’t think you can calculate the arc without the radius. All I know is that the angle is 110 degree
