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.

I don’t understand this help please
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first simplification we can make is to replace 6^0 with 1.

The first rules of exponents we can apply are ...

  <em>(a·b)^c = a^c·b^c</em> . . . . . . similar to the distributive property

<em>   (a^b)^c = a^(b·c)</em>

This reduces your expression to ...

  (2^8\cdot 3^{-5})^{-2}\cdot\left(\dfrac{3^{-2}}{2^3}\right)^4\cdot 2^{28}=2^{8(-2)}\cdot 3^{-5(-2)}\cdot\dfrac{3^{-2(4)}}{2^{3(4)}}\cdot 2^{28}\\\\=2^{-16}\cdot 3^{10}\cdot\dfrac{3^{-8}}{2^{12}}\cdot 2^{28}

Now we can apply another two rules of exponents:

<em>   (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)</em>

<em>   1/a^b = a^-b</em>

Using these, we have ...

  =2^{-16-12+28}\cdot 3^{10-8}\\\\=2^0\cdot 3^2\\\\=1\cdot 9=9

The value of the expression is 9.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 - 7x = -5? A. 7 plus or minus the square root of 69 divided by two. B. 7 plus or minu
kotykmax [81]
X² - 7 x = - 5
x² - 7 x + 5 = 0
The standard form is : ax² + b x + c = 0
a = 1;  b = -7;  c = 5
x 1/2 = (-b+/- √(b²-4 ac) / 2a
x 1/2 = (7+/-√49 - 20) / 2 = ( 7 +/-√29 ) / 2
Answer: B ) 7 plus or minus the square root of 29 divided by two.
