Answer 3

\(x^{2}\) 2 is even.

\(-6 = -6\cdot x^{0}\) 0 is even.

I think we're done.

Answer 4

ty

Answer 5

lol yeah even

Answer 6

the other way to check is to plug \[f(a)\] and \[f(-a)\]
then if they are equal you know its even

Answer 7

\[f(x)=x^2-6\]

Answer 8

@jonask Absolutely. The actual definition is a MUST. Unless you have a nice, clear polynomial, like the one you presented, the definition is the ONLY way to proceed.
