The Davis family is going to reseed the grass in the backyard. Their yard is irregularly shaped with a cement patio and rectangular garden as shown below. Given that the family will not need grass seed for the patio or the garden areas, what is the total area of the land will they be reseeding?

1,482 square feet    

Step-by-step explanation: Find total area - 37 x 46 = 1,702

Find area of patio and garden - 16 x 10 = 160 for the patio, 12 x 5 = 60 for the garden

Subtract from total area - 1702 - 160 = 1542, 1542 - 60 = 1,482 sq ft

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
