Answer:
(ii) is correct, please proceed.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 because it’d be 2/10 , 2/10 simplified is 1/5

f(4) = 12</h3><h3>
f(5) = 13</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
This is a piecewise function as it is composed of two pieces.
The equation for f(x) depends on what x is. Specifically whether it is even or odd.
If x is even, then f(x) = x^2-4. If x is odd, then f(x) = 3x-2
------------
f(4) means f(x) when x = 4. We have an even number input for x, so we'll go with f(x) = x^2-4
f(x) = x^2 - 4
f(4) = 4^2 - 4
f(4) = 16 - 4
f(4) = 12
------------
When x = 5, x is now odd, so use f(x) = 3x-2
f(x) = 3x-2
f(5) = 3(5) - 2
f(5) = 15 - 2
f(5) = 13
Remember, the numerator of an exponenent represents the root. As well, a negative exponent means to take the reciprocal of the positive exponent (
.
So,
is equal to
which is 1/4, because 1/4*1/4*1/4 is 1/64 (1/64 cubed root is 1/4).
For example, ![a^{b/c} = \sqrt[c]{b^{b}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%5E%7Bb%2Fc%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bc%5D%7Bb%5E%7Bb%7D%7D)
The answer is c.
