Determine whether the function f(x) = 3(x - 1)^4 is even or odd

The function is neither even nor odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is even if f(-x) = f(x)

The function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x)

We are given the function:

f(x) = 3(x-1)^4

Solving

f(x) = 3(x^4 -4x^3+6x^2-4x+1)

f(x) = 3x^4-12x^3+18x^2-12x+3

Now putting -x instead of x i,e f(-x)

f(-x) = 3(-x)^4-12(-x)^3+18(-x)^2-12(-x)+3

Solving

f(-x) =3x^4+12x^3+18x^2+12x+3

so, f(-x) ≠ f(x) The function is not even

and f(-x) ≠ -f(x) The function is not odd

Hence the function is neither even nor odd.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
