Determine whether the function below is an even function, an odd function, both, or neither.
f(x)=(x+5)^2

a.
neither even nor odd
b.
even function
c.
both even and odd
d.
odd function

  A.  neither even nor odd

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is that of a parabola whose line of symmetry is x=-5. Even functions are symmetrical about the line x=0, so this is not an even function. It has terms of even degree, so is not an odd function.

The function is neither even nor odd.

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
