For a function (fn) to be odd:
f(x) = - f(-x)
For a fn to be even:
f(x) = f(-x)
For a fn to be neither even nor odd
f(x) != f(-x) [No Relation]
(-x)^n = x^n for n -> even
(-x)^n = -x^n for n -> odd
In your example:
f(x) = -4x^3 + 4x
f(-x) = -4 (-x)^3 + 4 (-x)^1 ( 3 and 1 are odd powers )
f(-x) = 4x^3 - 4x (take -1 common to do the check)
f(-x) = -( -4x^3 + 4x ) = - f(x) [between the bracket was the original fn]
f(x) = - f(-x)
so the function is odd also called symmetric about the origin
Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
180 + 8x = 160 + 6x
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 6x on both sides: 180 + 2x = 160
- Subtract 180 on both sides: 2x = -20
- Divide both sides by 2: x = -10
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
180 + 8(-10) = 160 + 6(-10)
180 - 80 = 160 - 60
100 = 100
A) I don’t know for sure but please let me know :)
Answer:
A. With each 9s fact you add another 9, which means you go straight down a row and back one space. This creates a diagonal pattern in the grid.
