Full solution

Q. Is the function t(x)=4x7+2xt(x) = -4x^7 + 2x even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Check Even Function: Check if t(x)t(x) is even by evaluating t(x)t(-x) and comparing it to t(x)t(x).\newlinet(x)=4(x)7+2(x)t(-x) = -4(-x)^7 + 2(-x)
  2. Simplify t(x)t(-x): Simplify t(x)t(-x).t(x)=4(x)7+2(x)=4x72xt(-x) = -4(-x)^7 + 2(-x) = 4x^7 - 2x
  3. Compare t(x)t(-x) and t(x)t(x): Compare t(x)t(-x) with t(x)t(x).\newlinet(x)=4x7+2xt(x) = -4x^7 + 2x\newlinet(x)=4x72xt(-x) = 4x^7 - 2x\newlineSince t(x)t(-x) is not equal to t(x)t(x), t(x)t(x) is not even.
  4. Check Odd Function: Check if t(x)t(x) is odd by evaluating if t(x)t(-x) is equal to t(x)-t(x).t(x)=(4x7+2x)=4x72x-t(x) = -(-4x^7 + 2x) = 4x^7 - 2x
  5. Compare t(x)-t(x) and t(x)t(-x): Compare t(x)-t(x) with t(x)t(-x).
    t(x)=4x72x-t(x) = 4x^7 - 2x
    t(x)=4x72xt(-x) = 4x^7 - 2x
    Since t(x)t(-x) is equal to t(x)-t(x), t(x)t(x) is odd.
