is the following function even, odd or neither? f(x)=x^3 +4x

- even f(x) = f(-x)
- both
- odd f(-x) = -f(x)
- neither

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D, neither

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a function is even, odd or neither, we need to know what it means

an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis

an odd function is symmetric with respect to the origin

to solve an equation to see if its even or odd, we would need to substitute x in the equation for -x.

in an even function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to to f(x)

in an odd function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to -f(x)

so lets test the function given to see if its even

f(x) = x³ + 4x

f(-x) = (-x)³ + 4(-x)

f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to the orignal function, we see that f(-x) = x³ - 4x is not even as we did not get the same output as the original function

now we should test to see if its odd. we have already seen what f(-x) is, now lets try -f(x) and compare it to f(-x) and f(x)

-f(x) = -(x³ + 4x) -->

-f(x) = -x³ - 4x ≠ f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to f(x) and f(-x), we see that it not odd as we did not get the same output

so the answer is D, neither even nor odd

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y- values with a comma. -13x=97-19y -17x=83+19y

Answers

Answer:

The solution is (-6, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this system as

-13x=97-19y

-17x=83+19y

Now combine these two equations.  19y and -19y will cancel each other:

-30x = 180, so x = -6.

Now substitutte -6 for x in the first equation:

-13(-6) = 97 - 19y, or 78 = 97 - 19y.  This simplifies to:

-19 = -19y, so y = 1.

Answer:

no real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

The value of the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac informs about the nature of the solutions

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and distinct solutions

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real equal solutions

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solutions

For y = 3x² + 7x + 6

with a = 3, b = 7, c = 6, then

b² - 4ac = 7² - (4 × 3 × 6) = 49 - 72 = - 23

Since b² - 4ac < 0 the equation has no real solutions

Answers

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

1. Vertical angles = ∠INJ and ∠LNM

(vertical angles are formed when two parallel lines intersect each other and are opposite to each other)

2. Complementary angles = ∠INJ and ∠JNK

(these are two non-right angles that add up together to a total of 90°)

3. Supplementary angles = ∠JNK and ∠KNM

(two angles that add up to make 180°)

4. Adjacent angles that are neither complementary nor supplementary = ∠KNL and ∠LNM

(two angles that have a common side but do not add up to make 90° or 180°)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles :

INJ ≅ ∠LNM

Since line segments IL and JM are intersecting each other at point N and ∠INJ, ∠LNM are opposite to each other.

Complimentary angles :

∠INJ and ∠JNK are complementary angles

because ∠INJ + ∠JNK = 90°

Supplementary angles :

∠JNK and ∠KNM are supplementary angles because

∠JNK and ∠KNM = 180°

Adjacent angle that are neither complementary nor supplementary.

KNL and ∠LNM

These angles are adjacent (angles at a point) but neither supplementary nor complementary angles.

If cheese is $53.56 per kilogramme, what should I pay for 20 grammes?

Answers

Answer:

20 g cheese cost $1.0712

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that if cheese is $53.56 per kilogram,

we have to find the cost of cheese for 20 gram.

1 kg=1000 g

[tex]\text{As 1000 g cheese cost } \$53.56[/tex]

[tex]\text{1 g cheese cost }\$\frac{53.56}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]\text{20 g cheese cost }\$\frac{53.56}{1000}\times 20=\$1.0712[/tex]

Hence, 20 g cheese cost $1.0712

 

I would pay $1.07 for 20 grammes of cheese

The first step is to determine the cost of one gram of cheese. In order to do this, convert the kilogram to gram.

1 kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams

1 gram = $53.56 / 1000 = $0.05356

The second step is to determine the cost of 20 grams

cost of 20 grams = cost of one gram x 20

$0.05356 x 20 = $1.07

Answer:B 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3/9=1/3

The probability that the selected marble is Green for the considered case is given by: Option B: 1/3

How to calculate the probability of an event?

Suppose that there are finite elementary events in the sample space of the considered experiment, and all are equally likely.

Then, suppose we want to find the probability of an event E.

Then, its probability is given as

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text{Number of total cases}} = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}[/tex]

where favorable cases are those elementary events who belong to E, and total cases are the size of the sample space.

Given that:

Bag has 3 green, 3 red, and 3 blue marbles.A marble is selected at random.

To find: P(selected marble is green)

Take:

E = event that a marble selected at random is green.

Numbre of cases in which E can be done is 3 (as there are 3 green marbles).

Number of total cases = 3+3+3 = 9 (total 9 marbles, each can come as an outcome).

Thus, we get:
[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text{Number of total cases}} = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)} = \dfrac{3}{9} = 1/3[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the selected marble is Green for the considered case is given by: Option B: 1/3

Which table represents a linear function ?

Answers

Answer:

i think it is the first one

i hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Table 3 from the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the tables attached, we have to find a table which represents the linear function.

The values of y are changing with the different values of x.

If the values of y have a common difference in each successive term of the table then the function formed will be linear.

For 3rd table from the left,

At x = 1 and x = 2,

Difference in y values = -5 - (-3)

= -5 + 3

= -2

At x = 2 and x = 3,

Difference in y values = -7 - (-5)

= - 7 + 5

= -2

Similarly all successive values of y has a common difference of (-2).

Therefore, table 3 from the left represents a linear function.

How many grams of hydrocortisone are in a 120g of 4% ointment

Answers

To answer this, you can use a proportion.

We're trying to figure out what a portion of the 120g tube of ointment so that is our first side of the proportion: ?/120

We know that we can represent percentages as fractions by placing the percent over 100. So this is our second side of the proportion: 4/100

Our partially completed proportion is this: ?/120=4/100

Cross multiply 120 and 4: 120*4=480

Divide the product by 100: 480/100=4.8

So, there is 4.8g of hydrocortisone in the ointment.

Final answer:

To find the amount of hydrocortisone in a 120g of 4% ointment, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the total weight. This calculation gives us 4.8 grams of hydrocortisone.

Explanation:

Hydrocortisone is a medication used to treat various conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. In your question, you want to find the amount of hydrocortisone in a 120g of 4% ointment. The '%' sign in this context is referring to the weight of the substance (hydrocortisone) over the total weight of the solution (ointment). So, to find the amount of hydrocortisone in the ointment, you multiply the total weight of the ointment by the percentage of the substance.

Step 1: Write the percentage as a decimal. 4% becomes 0.04.
Step 2: Multiply the weight of the total ointment by the decimal.
In this case, 0.04 * 120g = 4.8 grams.

So, there are 4.8 grams of hydrocortisone in a 120g of 4% ointment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

The tangent of angle A, with angle A opposite side X in a right triangle where X = 10 cm and Y = 24 cm, is approximately 0.4167.

Explanation:

If we have a triangle with sides X = 10 cm, Y = 24 cm, and Z = 26 cm, we can use the tangent function to determine the tangent of angle A, assuming that angle A is opposite the side X. Using the fact that the y-axis passing through the third charge bisects the 24-cm line, we create two right triangles of sides 5, 12, and 13 cm, indicating that the triangle in question is in fact a right triangle, with the two smaller sides being X and Y, and the hypotenuse being Z.

Using the definition of tangent, which in a right triangle is the ratio between the side opposite to the angle and the side adjacent to the angle, the tangent of angle A would be tan(A) = opposite / adjacent. In this triangle, that would mean:

tan(A) = X / Y = 10 cm / 24 cm

Calculating this gives us:

tan(A) ≈ 0.4167

Therefore, the tangent of angle A is approximately 0.4167.

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 8 in. each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 24 ft. by 18 ft. tiles.

Answers

Answer:

Final answer is 972 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that length of each vinyl tile = 8 in

Given that width of each vinyl tile = 8 in

Then area of 1 vinyl tile = (Length) (Width) = (8)(8)= 64 square inches

Given that length of kitchen = 24 feet = 24 (12 in) = 288 in

Given that width of kitchen = 18 feet = 18 (12 in) = 216 in

Then area of kitchen = (Length) (Width) = (288)(216)= 62208 square inches

Then number of tiles needed [tex]=\frac{62208}{64}=972[/tex]

Hence final answer is 972 tiles.

Final answer:

To find the number of 8 inch by 8 inch tiles needed to cover a floor that is 24 feet by 18 feet, you need to calculate the total area of the floor in inches and then divide by the area of one tile. Thus, for a floor area of 62208 square inches and a tile area of 64 square inches, the number of tiles will be 972.

Explanation:

The first step is to convert the dimensions of the kitchen floor from feet to inches since the size of tiles is given in inches. Therefore, the floor size is 24ft * 12(in/ft) = 288 inches by 18ft * 12(in/ft) = 216 inches. Now, the area of the kitchen floor can be calculated as 288(in) x 216(in) = 62208 sq in.

Since each tile is 8 inches by 8 inches, the area of each tile is 8(in) x 8(in) = 64 sq in. To find out how many tiles are needed, you divide the total area of the kitchen floor by the area of one tile. Thus, 62208 sq in / 64 sq in = 972 tiles. Therefore, you would need 972 tiles to cover the kitchen floor.

Final answer:

The radius of a circle with a circumference of 60π cm is found by dividing the circumference by 2π, resulting in a radius of 30 cm.

Explanation:

To find the radius of a circle with a given circumference, we use the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference, π (pi) is approximately 3.14159, and r is the radius.

The circumference of the circle is given as 60π cm. Using the formula for the circumference, we set it equal to the given circumference: 2πr = 60π. To find the radius, we divide both sides of the equation by 2π:

2πr = 60π
r = 60π / 2π
r = 30 cm

Thus, the radius of the circle is 30 cm.

In recent years, the stock market has been quite volatile. Suppose your stock investment was initially $100,000. After a period where the value first decreased by 20% and then the value increased by 20%, would the value still be $100,000?

Many people, including some financial advisors, would answer the question in the affirmative; they would say your stock would still be valued at $100,000. But let's compute the result before we answer the question. Since the stock first decreased by 20%, we take 20% of $100,000, which is $20,000. So, the value of the stock would then be $80,000. The 20% increase would be on the $80,000. Taking 20% of $80,000, we obtain $16,000, which means the stock increases in value by $16,000. Therefore, the stocks final value is $96,000. The answer to the question is no since the value has had a net decrease of $4,000.

This answer seems counterintuitive since we had a 20% decrease and a 20% decrease.   But note that the 20% decrease was on a greater value than the 20% increase. The changes were not on the same stock values.

What would be the result if the reverse happened, that is, first have a 20% increase followed by a 20% decrease?

The 20% increase on $100,000 would be an increase of $20,000. So, the new value would be $120,000. We find the 20% of $120,000 is $24,000. Therefore, we would have a decrease of $24,000 for a net value of $96,000. Note that we have obtained the same result. The order of the increase and decrease did not matter, again because the 20% decrease was taken on the greater value than the 20% increase.

The Commutative Property of Multiplication may be used to show that the above two problems will have the same result. First note that 100% of $100,000 is $100,000. A decrease of 20% of the value would mean that the final value would be 80% of the original value since 100% – 20% = 80%. Also, an increase of 20% of the value would mean that the final value would be 120% of the original value since 100% + 20% = 120%. Reword the problems: Find 120% of 80% of $100,000 or find 80% of 120% of $100,000. Translate the problems:

1.20(0.80)(100,000) = 0.80(1.20)(100,000).

The commutative property shows that the two problems are equivalent. Multiplying either side of the equation we obtain our solution of $96,000.

Further note that $96,000 is a 4% decrease from the original $100,000 since we had a decrease of $4,000.

The above problem is a illustration of a common type of problem involving percentages where percents are used to describe how prices, salaries, and other monetary situations change. For instance, the TV you want to buy is on sale for 30% off or you get a 3.5% increase in your salary starting July 1.  

Knowing what these phrases mean and knowing how to compute the values is important to everyone in our society.ls

Simplify 6 over square root 8?

Answers

6/sqrt(8)= 2.121320344

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

[tex]\frac {6} {\sqrt {8}}[/tex]

We rewrite 8 as [tex]2 ^ 3 = 2 ^ 2 * 2[/tex]

[tex]\frac {6} {\sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 2}} =\\\frac {6} {2 \sqrt {2}} =\\\frac {3} {\sqrt {2}} =[/tex]

We rationalize, multiplying numerator and denominator by:

[tex]\frac {\sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {2}}\\\frac {3} {\sqrt {2}} * \frac {\sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {2}} =\\\frac {3 \sqrt {2}} {(\sqrt {2}) ^ 2} =\\\frac {3 \sqrt {2}} {2}[/tex]

ANswer:

[tex]\frac {3 \sqrt {2}} {2}[/tex]
