Full solution

Q. Is the function n(x)=2x5+x3n(x) = 2x^5 + x^3 even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Calculate n(x)n(-x): Calculate n(x)n(-x) by substituting x-x for xx in n(x)=2x5+x3n(x) = 2x^5 + x^3.\newlinen(x)=2(x)5+(x)3n(-x) = 2(-x)^5 + (-x)^3
  2. Simplify function: Simplify the right side of the function. n(x)=2(x)5+(x)3=2x5x3n(-x) = 2(-x)^5 + (-x)^3 = -2x^5 - x^3
  3. Compare n(x)n(x) and n(x)n(-x): Compare n(x)n(x) and n(x)n(-x). We have n(x)=2x5+x3n(x) = 2x^5 + x^3 and n(x)=2x5x3n(-x) = -2x^5 - x^3. Since n(x)=n(x)n(-x) = -n(x), n(x)n(x) is an odd function.
