How to do these
- Replace x with minus x.
- Both powers are even, so nothing changes sign.
- f of minus x is the same as f of x.
The answer is Even.
Where students go wrong
Assuming a function has to be one or the other. Most are neither, and a single odd term mixed in with even ones is enough to spoil both.
Also called even or odd functions, symmetry of functions or function symmetry.
