Q. Determine whether the function f(x)=−9x5−x is even, odd or neither.evenoddneither
Define function f(x): Define the function f(x). The given function is f(x)=−9x5−x. We need to determine if this function is even, odd, or neither.
Evaluate f(−x): Evaluate f(−x). Substitute −x for x in f(x) to find f(−x). f(−x)=−9(−x)5−(−x) Simplify the right side of the function. f(−x)=−9(−1)5x5+x Since (−1)5 is −1, we have: f(−x)0 f(−x)1
Compare f(x) and f(−x): Compare f(x) and f(−x). We have: f(x)=−9x5−xf(−x)=9x5+x 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.
