Try this option:
the rule: if f(-x)=f(x), then the function f(x) is even, if f(-x)=-f(x) then the function is odd.
1. f(x)=-5x⁴-2;
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=-5*(-x)⁴-2; ⇔ f(-x)=-5x⁴-2, in other words f(x)=f(-x), it means that this function is even.
2. f(x)=x³+2x.
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=(-x)³+2*(-x); ⇔ f(-x)=-(x³+2x), in other words f(-x)=-f(x), it means that this function is odd.
This pattern appears to alternate between doubling and subtracting by 1.
To get from 3 to 6, we multiply by two.
To get from 6 to 5, we subtract one.
To get from 5 to 10, we multiply by two.
To get from 10 to 9, we subtract one.
To get from 9 to 18, we multiply by two.
To get from 18 to 17, we subtract one.
Therefore, next we need to multiply by two.
17 x 2 = 34
So, the next number is 34.
To find the number after, we subtract one.
34 - 1 = 33
Thus, the number after is 33.
In conclusion, the next two numbers are 34 and 33.
Olivia needs 15 yards of ribbon.
2.5x18=45 feet
divide 45ft by 3 to see how many yards that would be.
45/3=15
Hope that I helped
