I really have no idea how to tell!

anonymous · Answer

this looks something like the cubed root, so i would say n is odd

Thank you that was what I was thinking! I'm just not sure whether it's odd or even, but I submitted the answer already.

cubed root, for example, would be written as $x^{\frac{1}{3}}$ making $n$ and odd number
