i got odd

hartnn (hartnn):

do u know what even and odd functions are??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lil bit

hartnn (hartnn):

if u replace x by -x and the function is even,if it becomes -f(x),then function is odd....so now try putting x=-x in f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even correct

hartnn (hartnn):

-9((-x)^4)+5(-x)+3=-9x^4-5x+3....which is neither f(x),nor f(-x)....so its neither even nor odd
