Is the function even, odd or neither? y=x^2-2x-8

Mathematics

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.

What is the approximate diameter of a sphere with a volume of 268cm3
kogti [31]

Answer:

diameter ≈15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this;

volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³

From the question given;

volume of the sphere = 268    

lets substitute   and solve for r

volume of sphere = 4/3 πr³

268 = 4/3 × 3.14 × r³

268 =4.19 × r³

Divide both-side of the equation by 4.19

268/4.19 = r³

63.96 = r³

Take the cube root of both-side

∛63.96 = r

7.8 ≈ r

but diameter = 2r = 2×7.8 =15.6

H(x)=-4x+3;when h(x)=11
liberstina [14]
To solve this, since you know that h(x) is 11 and that it also equals -4x+3, you set them equal to one another which would look like this: 11=-4x+3.
Then, to solve for x, which is what I am assuming the question is asking, you would subtract 3 from both sides to isolate -4x, which would result in this:
-4x=8
Now, to solve for x, divide both sides by -4, and you get your answer which is x=-2
