is f(x)=2x + 5 neither even nor odd?

Question

anonymous · Answer

ODD:
f(-x)=f(x)
even:
f(-x)=f(x)

anonymous · Answer

if they are not equal they are neither

anonymous · Answer

substitute -x in the function

anonymous · Answer

if you substitute x the answer is neither the exact opposite nor the original answer, I was looking for verification that it's neither even nor odd

anonymous · Answer

*-x

anonymous · Answer

oh a typo sorry
ODD= -f(x)=f(-x)
--------------
Substitute -x in the equation..
Multiply - to the equation.

anonymous · Answer

a polynomial is only odd if the degrees of ALL the terms are odd
the degree of $x$ is $1$ which is odd, but the degree of the constant $5$ is $0$ which is even

THANK YOU I was trying to remember that rule, but instead of considering DEGREES I was considering EXPONENTS that's VERY VERY helpful of you!
