Even and Odd Functions Example 1 Determine whether a function is even, odd or neither. a) f ( x ) = 3x4 + 5x2 –4 b) f( x ) = -2x5 +4x3 +7x c) f( x ) = x5 +x2 Substitute x by –x f(-x) = -2 (-x)5 + 4( -x )3 +7(-x) = 2x5 – 4x3 – 7x = - (-2x5 +4x3 +7x ) = - f(x) f(-x) = - f(x) f is odd Solution: Substitute x by –x f(-x) = ( -x )5 + ( -x )2 = - x5 + x2 f(-x) is not equal to f( x) nor –f(x). Therefore, f is neither. • Substitute x by –x • f( -x) = 3( -x )4 + 5 ( -x )2 - 4 • = 3x4 + 5x2 – 4 • = f(x) • f( -x) = f(x) • f is even.
