Answer: C. neither

Explanation:

A function is even when f(x) = f(-x)

A function is odd when f(-x) = -f(x)


f(x) = 2x³ - x²

f(-x) = 2(-x)³ - (-x)²

= -2x³ - x²

f(x) ≠ f(-x) so the function is not even

-f(x) = -(2x³ - x²)

= -2x³ + x²

f(-x) ≠ -f(x) so the function is not odd.


Since the function is not even or odd, then it is neither.
