Question 133880: 3x+6y =12
Click here to see answer by checkley71(8403)

Question 133888: Determine whether the function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis,symmetric with respect to the origin ,or none of these.
f(x)=-5x^3+2x, Given.
f(-x) = -5(-x)^3 + 2(-x)
=5x^3 - 2x which is not equal to f(x). A function y =f(x) is symmetrical about Y axis iff f(x) = f(-x).
Hence f(x) is not a symmetrical function.

Question 133916: Again, i need someone to come to the aid of an old lady..Thank you so much
How do you know if a value is a solution for an inequality? How is this different from determining if a value is a solution to an equation? If you replace the equal sign of an equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will be a solution to both the equation and the inequality? Write an inequality and provide a value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality.
