How can you determine whether a function is odd or even from the formula of the function?

F(x) = f(-x) is even, and f(-x)=-f(x) is odd. to know if it's even or odd you take the function and plug in -x for x then simplify it. if it's the same function that you started with , it's even. for example
if you have this
f(x) = -3x^2+4
plug in -x for x which will turn out to be
f(-x) = -3(-x)^2+4
and when simplified it'll be
-3x^2+4 because (-x)^2 is (-x)(-x) which is a positive.
because it's the same, it's an even one.

vredina [299]

Answer: $68.49^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The anchor for the wire is 93 m away from the base of the turbine.

It connects to the turbine 236 m above the ground.

Let x be the angle of elevation for the guy wire

By trigonometry,

$\tan x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}\\\Rightarrow\ \tan x=\frac{236}{93}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{236}{93})\\\Rightarrow\ x=\tan^{-1}(2.5376)\\\Rightarrow\ x=1.195\ radians \\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.195\times\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=68.49219\approx68.49^{\circ}$

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

process of elimination. the red dot is not a 1/4 of the number of lines, so it cant be 12.25, 13.625 is impossible because it has a value less than 13, and 12.625 is impossible as well because it has a value less than 12.5 therefore 12.375 is the best answer, and the only correct answer
