is -x^2+4x an even or odd function or neither?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its odd

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

can you explain?

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes,. its not odd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you graph of the function then you it is even or odd first draw the graph

hartnn (hartnn):

replace x by -x in f(x) that is find f(-x) and tell me what u get. @chrisplusian

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

-x^2-4x @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

now compare it with f(x) is it equal to f(x) ??

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

I was given the definition of f(-x)=f(x) is even and f(-x)=-f(x) is odd, but I don't see it either way

hartnn (hartnn):

thats why its neither....

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

ok thank you

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome :)
