Question

odd or even or neither

Answer 1

Would this be even?

Answer 2

Did you check f(x) = f(-x)?

Answer 3

Yes thats why i thought even i just making sure if i was doing it right x:

Answer 4

well, f(x) shouldn't be equal to f(-x)

f(x) = -2x+6, right?

f(-x) = -2(-x)+6 = 2x+6, which is not same as -2x+6, hence it is not even function

Answer 5

Dang it :c i guess i didnt think about one being negative and the other posotive

Answer 6

positive*

Answer 7

Yeah, and to check whether it is odd function: f(-x) = -f(x)

Answer 8

we have f(-x) = 2x+6 and -f(x) = -(-2x+6) = ...?

is -f(x) and f(-x) same?

Answer 9

-f(x)=2x-6

Answer 10

@geerky42

Answer 11

right, and you can see that f(-x) and -f(x) is not same, so function is not odd

Answer 12

Function is not even nor odd, so your answer is neither. Does that make sense?

Answer 13

Yes thank you

Answer 14

Its a linear function. Odd.

Answer 15

But

Answer 16

Linear function is not always odd function, especially when y-intercept is not 0. @Isaiah.Feynman

Answer 17

Fine, I was too lazy to check. lol. Use rule. Even if f(-x)=f(x), odd if f(x) = -f(x)
