Q. Is the following function even, odd, or neither?\newlinef(x)=3x2+2 f(x)=\frac{3}{x^{2}+2} \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Even\newline(B) Odd\newline(C) Neither
  1. Define function and f(x)f(-x): Define the function f(x)f(x) and determine f(x)f(-x). The function given is f(x)=3x2+2f(x)=\frac{3}{x^{2}+2}. To determine if the function is even, odd, or neither, we need to evaluate f(x)f(-x) and compare it to f(x)f(x).
  2. Substitute x-x in f(x)f(x): Substitute x-x for xx in f(x)f(x) to find f(x)f(-x).\newlinef(x)=3(x)2+2f(-x) = \frac{3}{(-x)^{2}+2}\newlineSince (x)2(-x)^2 is equal to x2x^2 (because the square of a negative number is positive), we can simplify f(x)f(-x) to:\newlinef(x)f(x)00
  3. Compare f(x)f(x) and f(x)f(-x): Compare f(x)f(x) and f(x)f(-x). We have f(x)=3x2+2f(x) = \frac{3}{x^{2}+2} and f(x)=3x2+2f(-x) = \frac{3}{x^{2}+2}. Since f(x)f(-x) is equal to f(x)f(x), the function f(x)f(x) is an even function.
