Question

Im new to Pre-Cal and need help on this question

Give an example of an odd function and explain algebraically why it is odd.

Answer 1

The way I like to describe an odd function is the highest exponent used to graph the funtion.
For example: x^3, x^4, x^5; x^3 and x^5 are odd while x^4 is even.
If you are looking at the function graphically, then the amount of times the function goes through the x-axis will determine whether or not the function is even or odd.
Hope that helped :)
