Question

The function f(x) is graphed below. Determine whether the degree of the function is even or

odd and whether the function itself is even or odd.

(Please help)

Answer 1

The degree of the function is even while the equation itself is neither even nor odd

How to know functions with even degree

In functions, when the degree is even the end points of the the curve is same direction. In the attached the curve the both endpoints are pointing upward. Hence we say the function has even degree

Odd functions are symmetric at the origin, while even function has symmetry at the y-axis. The graph do not show symmetry on both the origin or the y axis hence we say the function is neither even nor odd
