what is the value of k if the function f(x)=(2-k)/(5x+k) if the graph of the function passes through the point (-1,1/2)

k = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the given point x = -1 an f(x) = 1/2, so we have the equation:

1/2 = (2 - k)/(5(-1) + k)

(2 - k)/(k - 5) = 1/2

Cross multiplying:

2(2 - k) = k - 5

4 - 2k = k - 5

-2k - k = -5 -4

-3k = -9

k = 3.

sorry, i'm new here and i'm just trying to figure this out. try quizlet. rate 5* you!

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
