Answer:

even function

Explanation:

recall that:

a function is EVEN if and only if f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f

a function is ODD if and only if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain of f

we observe that for the function

f(x) = 3x^4

because x has been raised to an even power, that f(x) will always be positive (or zero), regardless of whether x is negative or positive.

i.e

f(x) = f(x) and f(-x) = f(x)

This behavior is described by the definition of an EVEN function (given above)

Hence f(x) is an even function
