Determine whether the function f(x)=-7x^(3)-x^(4) is even, odd or neither. even odd neither

Define f(x): Define the function f(x). The given function is f(x)=-7x^(3)-x^(4). To determine if the function is even, odd, or neither, we need to compare f(x) with f(-x).Calculate f(-x): Calculate f(-x). Substitute -x for x in f(x) to get f(-x). f(-x)=-7(-x)^(3)-(-x)^(4) f(-x)=-7(-x^3)-x^4Simplify f(-x): Simplify f(-x). Simplify the expression for f(-x). f(-x)=-7(-x^3)-x^4 f(-x)=7x^3-x^4Compare f(x) with f(-x): Compare f(x) with f(-x). We have f(x)=-7x^(3)-x^(4) and f(-x)=7x^3-x^4. Since f(-x) is not equal to f(x) and f(-x) is not equal to -f(x), the function is neither even nor odd.

Define $f(x)$ : Define the function $f(x)$ . The given function is $f(x) = -7x^{3} - x^{4}$ . To determine if the function is even, odd, or neither, we need to compare $f(x)$ with $f(-x)$ .
Calculate $f(-x)$ : Calculate $f(-x)$ . $\newline$ Substitute $-x$ for $x$ in $f(x)$ to get $f(-x)$ . $\newline$ $f(-x)=-7(-x)^{3}-(-x)^{4}$ $\newline$ $f(-x)=-7(-x^3)-x^4$
Simplify $f(-x)$ : Simplify $f(-x)$ . Simplify the expression for $f(-x)$ . $f(-x)=-7(-x^3)-x^4$ $f(-x)=7x^3-x^4$
Compare $f(x)$ with $f(-x)$ : Compare $f(x)$ with $f(-x)$ . We have $f(x)=-7x^{3}-x^{4}$ and $f(-x)=7x^{3}-x^{4}$ . Since $f(-x)$ is not equal to $f(x)$ and $f(-x)$ is not equal to $-f(x)$ , the function is neither even nor odd.
