Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if the function is odd, try replacing  x  by  −x :

y = x^2 - 2x - 8 → Original equation

y = (-x)^2 - 2(-x) -8

y = (-1)^2 (x)^2 +2x - 8  → as you can tell the equation has already changed

y = -x^2 + 2x - 8  → even if we factor out the negative 1 the 8 at the end would turn positive

Thus,  y  is neither odd nor even.

Another way, if you deal with a polynomial:

Check which of the coefficients are non-zero:

  • Before even powers of x only? Even
  • Before odd powers of x only? Odd

In this case, you can tell there is an odd and an even which makes this function neither

Hope this helps!

It is neither.

To be even, f(x) must equal f(-x).

If you substitute -x for x, you'd get

     y = (-x)^2 - 2(-x) -8

     y = x^2 +2x -8

This is not the same as the original, so this is not even.

To be odd, f(x) must equal -f(-x).

If you take the -x substitution from the last step and then multiply it by -1, you'd have:

      y = -1 (x^2 +2x -8)

      y = -x^2 -2x +8

This is not the same as the original either.

The function is neither even nor odd.

Andrej [43]

So the 4ft mailbox’s shadow was six feet. That 2ft longer. According to my logic if the tree had a showdown of 36ft we subtract 2ft. The trees actual size is 34ft.

I might be wrong don’t hate me :(
