Full solution

Q. Is the function m(x)=4x5+6xm(x) = -4x^5 + 6x even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Check Even by Evaluating: Check if m(x)m(x) is even by evaluating m(x)m(-x) and comparing it to m(x)m(x).m(x)=4(x)5+6(x)m(-x) = -4(-x)^5 + 6(-x)
  2. Simplify m(x)m(-x): Simplify m(x)m(-x).
    m(x)=4(x)56xm(-x) = -4(-x)^5 - 6x
    m(x)=4x56xm(-x) = 4x^5 - 6x
  3. Compare m(x)m(-x) with m(x)m(x): Compare m(x)m(-x) with m(x)m(x).
    m(x)=4x5+6xm(x) = -4x^5 + 6x
    m(x)=4x56xm(-x) = 4x^5 - 6x
    Since m(x)m(-x) is not equal to m(x)m(x), m(x)m(x) is not even.
  4. Check Odd by Evaluating: Check if m(x)m(x) is odd by evaluating if m(x)m(-x) is equal to m(x)-m(x).
    m(x)=(4x5+6x)-m(x) = -(-4x^5 + 6x)
    m(x)=4x56x-m(x) = 4x^5 - 6x
  5. Compare m(x)-m(x) with m(x)m(-x): Compare m(x)-m(x) with m(x)m(-x).
    m(x)=4x56x-m(x) = 4x^5 - 6x
    m(x)=4x56xm(-x) = 4x^5 - 6x
    Since m(x)m(-x) is equal to m(x)-m(x), m(x)m(x) is odd.
