A construction company spends w weeks extending an existing road. The existing road is 5 miles long. Each week the company completes 0.2 miles of the extension. Which equation models the total length (L) of the road? A. L = 0.2w + 5
B. L = 0.2w - 5
C. w = 0.2L + 5
D. w = 0.2L - 5

L = 0.2w + 5

Since there is already 5 miles, your adding 0.2w. Its not 0.2L because that is the total length and its the sum.

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
