Q. Determine whether the function f(x)=9x5x f(x)=-9 x^{5}-x is even, odd or neither.\newlineeven\newlineodd\newlineneither
  1. Define function f(x)f(x): Define the function f(x)f(x). The given function is f(x)=9x5xf(x) = -9x^{5} - x. We need to determine if this function is even, odd, or neither.
  2. Evaluate f(x)f(-x): Evaluate f(x)f(-x).
    Substitute x-x for xx in f(x)f(x) to find f(x)f(-x).
    f(x)=9(x)5(x)f(-x)=-9(-x)^{5}-(-x)
    Simplify the right side of the function.
    f(x)=9(1)5x5+xf(-x)=-9(-1)^5x^5+x
    Since (1)5(-1)^5 is 1-1, we have:
    f(x)f(-x)00
    f(x)f(-x)11
  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)=9x5xf(x)=-9x^{5}-x f(x)=9x5+xf(-x)=9x^5+x Since f(x)f(-x) is not equal to f(x)f(x) and f(x)f(-x) is not equal to f(x)-f(x), the function f(x)f(x) is neither even nor odd.
