Given the function x^3-5x:
Find f (2)
Find f(-2)
Is the function odd or even?

f(2)= -2, f(-2)= 2, odd

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f(2)=x^3-5x

2. f(2)= 2^3-5(2)

3. f(2)=8-10

4. f(2)= -2

5. f(-2)= x^3-5x

6. f(-2)= -2^3-5(-2)

7. f(-2)= -8+10

8. f(-2)= 2

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
