In Problems 33– 44, determine algebraically whether each function is even, odd, or neither.

g(x)=x2+3x2-1

Find the following for each function:

fx=3xx2-1

Part (a):f2

Part (b):f-2

Part (c):f-x

Part (d):-fx

Part (e):fx-2

Part (f):f2x

Graph the function using the techniques of shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflecting. Start with the graph of the basic function and show all stages. Be sure to show at least three key points. Find the domain and the range of each function. Verify your results using a graphing utility.
