A distribution f(x) describes a population of squirrels. The function is only meaningful when it has positive values, and is given as f(x) = {-3(x-5)2+3*5*5} What percentage of the squirrels exist between x=0 and x=5/4? Formatting note, if 1/2 of the squirrels are in this portion of the distribution, your answer should be 50.

A function is odd function if f (-x) = - f(x). A function is even function if f(-x) = f(x). f(x) = sin (x) and f(x) = x are examples of odd functions and f(x) = cos x and f(x) = e^ (-x)^2 are examples of even functions. Give two more examples of even functions and two more examples of odd functions. Show that for odd functions f (x), integral of f(x) from negative infinity to infinity = 0 if...
