Q. Determine whether the function f(x)=8x7−3x5+3x is even, odd or neither.evenneitherodd
Define function f(x): Define the function f(x). The given function is f(x)=8x7−3x5+3x. 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)=8x7−3x5+3x to get f(−x).f(−x)=8(−x)7−3(−x)5+3(−x)Now simplify the right side of the function.f(−x)=8(−1)7⋅x7−3(−1)5⋅x5+3(−1)⋅xf(−x)=−8x7+3x5−3x
Compare f(x) with f(−x): Compare f(x) with f(−x). We have: f(x)=8x7−3x5+3xf(−x)=−8x7+3x5−3x Since f(−x) is not equal to f(x) and f(−x) is not equal to −f(x), the function f(x) is neither even nor odd.
