Answer:

True

Explanation:

Given a function:

\displaystyle{f(x)=\sin 3x + x}

Verify that f(-x) = -f(x) by substitution -- therefore:


\displaystyle{f(-x) = -f(x)}\\\\\displaystyle{\sin 3\left(-x\right)+\left(-x\right) = -\left(\sin 3x + x\right)}\\\\\displaystyle{\sin \left(-3x\right) - x = -\sin 3x - x}\\\\\displaystyle{-\sin 3x - x = -\sin 3x - x}

Both sides are equal, hence f(-x) = -f(x).
