Short Answer

Expert verified

The given functionG(x)=1-x+x2is neither even nor odd.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given information

The given function G(x)=1-x+x2

02

Step 2. Determine the given function is even,odd or neither

The function is even if G(-x)=G(x)and odd if G(-x)=-G(x).If none of these conditions are satisfied.

Find G(-x) by replacing -x forx in the given function.
G(-x)=1-(-x)+(-x)3=1+x-x3

We can see that G(-x)G(x)andG(-x)-G(x).Therefore the given function is neither even nor odd
