The a picture of the question is attached above.

OpenStudy (aabomosalam1998):

A function is called even if f(-x)=f(x) for all x

OpenStudy (erod0):

ok so is it neither?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Even function ---> f(-x) = f(x) odd function ---> f(-x) = -f(x) if you think about it, the even function is symmetrical about the y-axis and the odd functions are symmetrical to both x and y axis...

OpenStudy (pelasky13):

lol he wants a straight answer

OpenStudy (danjs):

even functions flip over yaxis --f(-x)=f(x) odd functions flip over both axis... f(-x) = -f(x)

OpenStudy (osprey):

A guess ... I think the answer is even. Try substituting x=1, which is an odd number, and x=2 which is an even number and they both become even numbers. Assuming that that works for all other numbers (possibly a dangerous assumption), then it's even.

OpenStudy (erod0):

i just want the straight answer please lol

OpenStudy (danjs):

test a value, say x=1, you get f(1) = 3*1^5 - 1 = 2 f(-1) = 3*(-1)^5 -1 = -2 see f(1) = -f(-1) , that shows an odd

OpenStudy (danjs):

f(-x) = -f(x)

We aren't allowed to give you the answer. Out goal I'd to guide you to the correct answer in a way you can understand so that you can do it for yourself in the future
