A scientist planted seeds in 4 sections of soil for an experiment. not all of the seeds grew into plants. after 20 days, the scientist counted the number of plants in each of the 4 sections. use the data in the table to determine approximately how many plants grew per square foot. explain or show how you determine your approximation. let y be the number of plants expected to grow in x square feet. write an equation the scientist could use to model the relationship between y and x.

4+4+2x

or

2x+8

step-by-step explanation:

y/x of point b= y/x of point a

step-by-step explanation:

(i got the same question, this was the correct 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
