Melvin analyzed prices of laptop computers based on the speed of the processor. He calculated the trend line to be y = 103x + 205 where x is the speed of the processor in gigahertz and y is the price. Which amount below is closest to the price of a laptop with a processor speed of 2.0 gigahertz?

8

step-by-step explanation:

1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 +4^3 = (1+2+3+4)^2

i am only able to answer the first part. i am not sure about the second part. sorry

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
