Graph each of the functions with a graphing utility. Determine whether the function is even, odd, or neither. $$\begin{aligned}&\begin{array}{ll}f(x)=x^{2}-x^{4} & g(x)=2 x^{3}+1 \\\h(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{3}+x & j(x)=2-x^{6}-x^{8}\end{array}\\\&k(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{4}+x-2 \quad p(x)=x^{9}+3 x^{5}-x^{3}+x \end{aligned}$$
Use Hooke's Law for springs, which states that the distance a spring is stretched (or compressed) varies directly as the force on the spring. An overhead garage door has two springs, one on each side of the door. A force of 15 pounds is required to stretch each spring 1 foot. Because of a pulley system, the springs stretch only one-half the distance the door travels. The door moves a total of 8 feet, and the springs are at their natural lengths when the door is open. Find the combined lifting force applied to the door by the springs when the door is closed.
A rectangle is bounded by the \(x\) -axis and the semicircle \(y=\sqrt{36-x^{2}}\) (see figure). Write the area \(A\) of the rectangle as a function of \(x,\) and graphically determine the domain of the function.
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(P\) varies directly as \(x\) and inversely as the square of \(y .\) \(\left(P=\frac{28}{3} \text { when } x=42 \text { and } y=9 .\right)\)
Sketch the graph of the function. $$f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}x^{2}+5, & x \leq 1 \\\\-x^{2}+4 x+3, & x>1\end{array}\right.$$
