Full solution

Q. Is the function h(x)=x3+2xh(x) = x^3 + 2x even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Check Even Function: Check if h(x)h(x) is even by substituting x-x for xx and comparing h(x)h(-x) to h(x)h(x).
    h(x)=(x)3+2(x)h(-x) = (-x)^3 + 2(-x)
    h(x)=x32xh(-x) = -x^3 - 2x
  2. Compare h(x)h(-x) with h(x)h(x): Compare h(x)h(-x) with h(x)h(x).h(x)=x3+2xh(x) = x^3 + 2xh(x)=x32xh(-x) = -x^3 - 2xSince h(x)h(x)h(-x) \neq h(x), h(x)h(x) is not even.
  3. Check Odd Function: Check if h(x)h(x) is odd by seeing if h(x)=h(x)h(-x) = -h(x).
    h(x)=x32xh(-x) = -x^3 - 2x
    h(x)=(x3+2x)-h(x) = -(x^3 + 2x)
    h(x)=x32x-h(x) = -x^3 - 2x
    Since h(x)=h(x)h(-x) = -h(x), h(x)h(x) is odd.
