Question

Is the function even, odd or neither? How do you know?
() = −2^3 - x

Answer 1

algebraically" whether a function is even or odd. To do this, you take the function and plug −x in for x, and then simplify. If you end up with the exact same function that you started with (that is, if f (−x) = f (x), so all of the signs are the same), then the function is even

Explanation:

Even functions are symmetrical about the y-axis: f(x)=f(-x). Odd functions are symmetrical about the x- and y-axis: f(x)=-f(-x)
