Q. Determine whether the function f(x)=x5−3 is even, odd or neither.neitherevenodd
Define function f(x): Define the function f(x) and consider the function for f(−x). Substitute −x for x in f(x)=x5−3. f(−x)=(−x)5−3
Substitute −x: Simplify the right side of the function.f(−x)=(−x)5−3Since the exponent is odd, (−x)5 becomes −x5.f(−x)=−x5−3
Simplify function: Compare f(x) with f(−x). We have: f(x)=x5−3f(−x)=−x5−3 Since f(−x) is not equal to f(x) and f(−x) is not equal to −f(x), f(x) is neither even nor odd.
