Chapter 2: Q. 33 (page 90)

Determine algebraically whether each function is even, odd, or neither.

f(x)=4x3

Short Answer

Expert verified

fxis an odd function.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

The functionf(x)=4x3.

02

Write definition of even function and odd function.

  • A function fxis said to be an even function if f-x=fx.
  • A functionfxis said to be an odd function iff-x=-fx.
03

Calculate f-x.

Replace xby -xinto the given function fx=4x3.

f-x=4-x3=-4x3=-fx

As, f-x=-fx

So, by definition: fxis an odd function.
