Answer 1

Answer: 45x3x345!3

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply all numbers then you divide by all the numbers there and there’s your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

D) $f(x)=8x^5+7x^3-5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is odd if its graph is symmetric to the origin, which we can check this if $f(-x)=-f(x)$ is true:

Option A

$f(x)=7x^4+13x^3-11\\\\f(-x)=7(-x)^4+13(-x)^3-11\\\\f(-x)=7x^4-13x^3-11$

Since $f(-x)\neq-f(x)$, then the function does not have odd symmetry

Option B

$f(x)=5x^7+4x^6+3x^5+x\\\\f(-x)=5(-x)^7+4(-x)^6+3(-x)^5+x\\\\f(-x)=-5x^7+4x^6-3x^5+x$

Since $f(-x)\neq-f(x)$, then the function does not have odd symmetry

Option C

$f(x)=13x^5-\frac{1}{2}x^3+7x+3\\\\f(-x)=13(-x)^5-\frac{1}{2}(-x)^4+7(-x)+3\\ \\f(-x)=-13x^5-\frac{1}{2}x^4-7x+3$

Since $f(-x)\neq-f(x)$, then the function does not have odd symmetry

Option D

$f(x)=8x^5+7x^3-5x\\\\f(-x)=8(-x)^5+7(-x)^3-5(-x)\\\\f(-x)=-8x^5-7x^3+5x$

Since $f(-x)=-f(x)$, then the function DOES have odd symmetry. You can also see that the function is odd because every term has an odd exponent.
