April was asked to determine whether f(x)=x3−1 is even, odd, or neither. Here is her work:Step 1: Find expression for f(−x)f(−x)amp;=(−x)3−1amp;=−x3−1Step 2: Check if f(−x) is equal to f(x) or −f(x)−x3−1 is the same as−f(x)=−x3−1.Step 3: Conclusionf(−x) is equivalent to −f(x), so f is odd.Is April's work correct? If not, what is the first step where April made a mistake?Choose 1 answer:(A) April's work is correct.(B) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 1.(C) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 2.(D) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 3.
Q. April was asked to determine whether f(x)=x3−1 is even, odd, or neither. Here is her work:Step 1: Find expression for f(−x)f(−x)=(−x)3−1=−x3−1Step 2: Check if f(−x) is equal to f(x) or −f(x)−x3−1 is the same as−f(x)=−x3−1.Step 3: Conclusionf(−x) is equivalent to −f(x), so f is odd.Is April's work correct? If not, what is the first step where April made a mistake?Choose 1 answer:(A) April's work is correct.(B) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 1.(C) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 2.(D) April's work is incorrect. She first made a mistake in Step 3.
Compare Functions: Compare f(−x) to f(x) and −f(x). f(x)=x3−1 −f(x)=−(x3−1)=−x3+1 Since −x3−1 is not equal to x3−1 (f(x)) and not equal to −x3+1 (−f(x)), there's a mistake here.
