Full solution

Q. Is the function v(x)=x7+8x5v(x) = -x^7 + 8x^5 even, odd, or neither?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)even\newline(B)odd\newline(C)neither
  1. Select function for v(x)v(-x): v(x)=x7+8x5v(x) = -x^7 + 8x^5\newlineSelect the function for v(x)v(-x).\newlineSubstitute x-x for xx in v(x)=x7+8x5v(x) = -x^7 + 8x^5.\newlinev(x)=(x)7+8(x)5v(-x) = -(-x)^7 + 8(-x)^5
  2. Simplify right side: v(x)=(x)7+8(x)5v(-x) = -(-x)^7 + 8(-x)^5\newlineSimplify the right side of the function.\newlinev(x)=(1)7×x7+8(1)5×x5v(-x) = -(-1)^7 \times x^7 + 8(-1)^5 \times x^5\newlinev(x)=x78x5v(-x) = x^7 - 8x^5
  3. Determine function type: We have:\newlinev(x)=x7+8x5v(x) = -x^7 + 8x^5\newlinev(x)=x78x5v(-x) = x^7 - 8x^5\newlineIs the function v(x)v(x) even, odd, or neither?\newlineSince v(x)=v(x)v(-x) = -v(x), v(x)v(x) is an odd function.
