The ordered pair (1, 7) belongs to some function, f(x). Explain why the ordered pair (8, 1) cannot belong to the inverse of this function.

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function

c.

step-by-step explanation: it's not a. because 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/27 so that's not correct. | b. is also not correct because 7 x 7 1/3 is not actually 3 x 7 1/3 . and for d. multiplications are not additions so that left you with c. ( hope this out : d )
