Answer:

Odd (second option)

Explanation:

Plug -x in for x, and then simplify.

If it ends up same function then it is even.

If it ends up opposite then odd


So f(x) = -x / (x^2 - 1)

Plug in x = - x

f(x) = -(-x) / ((-x)^2 -1)

f(x) = x / (x^2 - 1)

This function is opposite the original function so answer is odd
