You take the function and plug –x in for x, and then simplify.

If f (–x) = f (x) then the function is even.

If f (–x) = –f (x) then the function is odd.

If no match, then neither

so

f(x) = ∛(2x)

f(x) = (2x)^1/3

Substitute x = - x

f(-x) = (2*(-x))^1/3

f(- x) = (-2x)^1/3

So f (-x) = -f (x)

Answer:

Function is odd.
