Q. A function is said to be even if f(x) = f ( -x ) . Which of the following is not an even function?
A: y = |x|
B: y = sec x
C: y = log (x^2)
D: y = x^2 + sin x
E: y = 3x^4 - 2x^2 +17

I marked B but the correct answer is D

I guess the book's probably wrong here, as secx = 1/cosx and the value for cos(x) and cos(-x) is the same, your answer looks right as the value of sin(x) and sin(-x) is not the same!

if U , A and B are three sets then A is an equal subset ----------------- where u is a universal set.

a)A'
b)B'
c)AU B
d)A intersection B

what is the ans.???''


in the frst line equal sub set means U rotated at 90 degrees, clockwise with a dash beneath..

The question is demanding about the function which is not even.
"D" here is the right option. Sec(x) = Sec(-x) is an even function because by replacing the value of x, the function remains the same.
In D option, the function is changed so it is not an even function.

wel for english just take a sat ielts or toefl book...
there are topics given for practice namely,
1. sentence correction
2. grammer
3.direct, past particple
4. etc
5. at the end of these books is a list of vocabulary: learn 2 to 3 pages every day..
learn carefully the use of colon, semi colon, exclamination mark, and etc.
english is what we all are used too; but it requires serious practice.


I am not sure but if MCAT has critical writing and composition writing then some exercises of it is present there too

a healthy explanation can do more good. so plz:)
Lol, i was asking u to confirm frm the book whether it was the correct answer or not!

Anyways, first there is a mistake by you in writing the question the
sign 1.png
sign means proper subset (i.e the whole thing is inside the circle)

and the
sign 2.png
means improper subset (i.e the whole set will not be inside the circle, there will be some part which is outside)
example:
example.png

Use this information to solve the question, remember in your question, A is an improper subset of __________

MCQS TIPS...

** Read the multiple choice question carefully and think of an answer before you see your choices. Read the choices to see if your answer is there. If so, it is probably right. Read the other answers quickly to be certain.

** If your answer is not one of the choices, then read all the choices carefully and start to eliminate choices.

** Cross out any answers that are obviously wrong.

** When you narrow your choices to two, try each answer with the question to see if they both make sense. Sometimes you'll find a hidden clue, like a subject/verb agreement that gives it away.

** If you are confused by "all of the above" and "none of the above" questions and they tend to take up too much time, leave all of those blank and go back to them. These questions have an element of logic to them, and some people take longer than others to work out logic problems. If you find that they require a little extra concentration, you may need to treat them as a separate section.

** If you are stumped about a word, dissect it for clues. Think about the meanings of the prefix or suffix. Compare it to other words that start with the same letters. For example, the prefix "epi" is found in the word epidermis, which refers to the top layer of the skin. What can you discern, then, about a plant called an "epiphyte?" Would it have roots that stretch deep into the dirt or would it grow on the surface of something?

** Don’t second-guess yourself. If you make an educated guess the first time around, don’t go back and start changing your answers around.

** Keep an eye on the clock to give yourself time to re-visit the questions you left blank.

** If all else fails, choose B or C! A few studies show that those answers are correct at a slightly higher rate than A or D.:D

Well duh the book is right. They asked which one is NOT an even function.
