Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

if they are not equal they are neither

Answer 3

substitute -x in the function

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

*-x

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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!
