I NEED HELP ASAP, PLZ SHOW THE WORK, ILL GIVE THE FIRST PERSON WITH A GOOD ANSWER BRAINLIEST!! Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4x and y = 2x−1 intersect are the solutions of the equation 4x = 2x−1. (4 points)

Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 4x = 2x−1. Take the integer values of x between −4 and 4. (4 points)

Part C: How can you solve the equation 4x = 2x−1 graphically? (2 points)

(10 points)

Part A: So the solution for 4 = 2x-1 is -2. Why they're intersecting is because x is -0.5 in both cases. 2/4, as we already know, is 0.5. Since, this -2/4, we can just make 0.5 negative, so -0.5. -0.5 times 4 = -2, so x is -0.5. For y = 2x-1, multiply -0.5 by 2, which would get you -1. Then after that subtract 1, for -2.

Part B:

Well, notice how none of the entries for y = 4x and y = 2x-1 match. That would mean the answer wouldn't be an integer. (Attachment is the table)

Part C:

First, graph both y = 4x and y = 2x-1. After that, find where the two equations' y-coordinates are the same (So, on a graph, where they intersect.). The y-coordinate in common is your answer.

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
