Q. Is the function q(x)=x69q(x) = x^6 - 9 even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Check Even Function: Check if q(x)q(x) is even.\newlineAn even function satisfies q(x)=q(x)q(x) = q(-x).\newlineCalculate q(x)q(-x) by substituting x-x for xx in q(x)=x69q(x) = x^6 - 9.\newlineq(x)=(x)69q(-x) = (-x)^6 - 9.
  2. Calculate q(x)q(-x): Simplify q(x)q(-x).\newlineSince (x)6=x6(-x)^6 = x^6 (because the exponent is even), we get:\newlineq(x)=x69q(-x) = x^6 - 9.
  3. Simplify q(x)q(-x): Compare q(x)q(x) and q(x)q(-x). We have q(x)=x69q(x) = x^6 - 9 and q(x)=(x)69q(-x) = (-x)^6 - 9. Since q(x)=q(x)q(x) = q(-x), the function q(x)q(x) is even.
