Question
Determine whether each of the following functions is even, odd, or neither even nor odd.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Solution
Sure, let's determine whether each function is even, odd, or neither.
(a) f(x) = x^7 + x
A function is even if f(x) = f(-x) and odd if f(-x) = -f(x). Let's check:
f(-x) = (-x)^7 + (-x) = -x^7 - x which is not equal to f(x) = x^7 + x, so it's not even.
Also, -f(x) = -(x^7 + x) = -x^7 - x which is equal to f(-x), so it's odd.
(b) g(x) = 1 - x^2
g(-x) = 1 - (-x)^2 = 1 - x^2 which is equal to g(x), so it's even.
Also, -g(x) = -(1 - x^2) = x^2 - 1 which is not equal to g(-x), so it's not odd.
(c) h(x) = 2x - x^4
h(-x) = 2(-x) - (-x)^4 = -2x - x^4 which is not equal to h(x), so it's not even.
Also, -h(x) = -(2x - x^4) = -2x + x^4 which is not equal to h(-x), so it's not odd.
So, f(x) is odd, g(x) is even, and h(x) is neither even nor odd.
