Carson uses cubes to make a pattern of shapes. The first shape has a height of 2 cubes and a length of 2 cubes, as shown below. For each step in the pattern, carson adds 1 cube to the height and 1 cube to the length. Which sentence about the shapes in Carson pattern is true

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

17,000 is the correct answer.
