Answer:
=========================
The difference between odd and even functions is that:
- f(-x) = f(x) for even functions,
- f(-x) = - f(x) for odd functions.
Let's test this property for the given functions.
Function f(x)
- f(-4) = - f(4) = 8 and f(-2) = - f(2) = 1, so this is an odd function
Function g(x)
- g(4) = g(-4) = -4 and g(2) = g(-2) = 2, so this is an even function
Function j(x)
- j(2) = j(-2) = 2 and j(1) = (j-1) = - 4, so this is an even function
Function k(x)
- k(-4) = 9, k(4) = 1 and k(-2) = 4, k(2) = 0, since each value is different this is neither odd nor even function
