What was the average speed of the car for the entire journey?

Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.

If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:

(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph

However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:

(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)

Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.

Explain why the function of f(x)=4x^2+8x is neither even or odd
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

By putting x = -x in f(x) i.e. f(-x) we didn't get f(x) or -f(x) so, the function is neither even nor odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to explain why the function of f(x)=4x^2+8x is neither even or odd

First we will understand, when the function is even and odd

Even function:

<em>A function is even if f(-x) = f(x) </em>

Odd function:

<em>A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x) </em>

So, if we get the above result by putting x = -x, then we can say that the function is even or odd.

If we don't get any of the above results then the function is neither even nor odd.

So, for the given function: f(x)=4x^2+8x

Put x = -x

f(x)=4x^2+8x\\Put x=-x\\f(-x)=4(-x)^2+8(-x)\\f(-x)=4x^2-8x

So, by putting x=-x in f(x) i.e. f(-x) we didn't get f(x) or -f(x) so, the function is neither even nor odd.
