Total age=45
devaughn is 5 years younger
45-5=40
so ,
40 divided by 2 equals= 20
so each of them is 20
without remaining 5
so devaughn is 20
so sydney is 45-20=25
so, sydney is 25 years old

Let the age of devaughn be x and Sydney be y.
Then,x+y=45
x+5=y
y=x+5
here,
put y=x+y in x+y=45
then,
x+y=45
x+x+5=45
2x=40
x=20
now,
y=x+5
y=20+5
y=25

H function is even, odd, or neither. b. g(x) = x² - 2 Is it odd or even

o-na [289]

$g(x) = x^2 - 2 \text{ is even function }$

Solution:

Given that,

$g(x) = x^2 - 2$

We have to find whether the above function is odd or even

If a function is: y = f(x)

If f(-x) = f(x), the function is even

If f(-x) = - f(x), the function is odd

Which is,

$\mathrm{Even\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:even\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}\\\\\mathrm{Odd\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:odd\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=-f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}$
