Answer:

The function f(x) is neither even, nor odd function.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition: </u>A function is called an even function if for all x from its domain

$f(-x)=f(x)$

<u>Definition:</u> A function is called an odd function if for all x from its domain

$f(-x)=-f(x)$

You are given the function $f(x)=-x^3-2x^2+5.$

Substitute into the function expression -x instead of x.

$f(-x)=-(-x)^3-2(-x)^2+5\\ \\f(-x)=-(-x^3)-2x^2+5=x^3-2x^2+5\neq f(x)\\ \\-f(x)=-(-x^3-2x^2+5)=x^3+2x^2-5\\ \\f(-x)\neq -f(x)$

Hence, the function f(x) is neither even, nor odd function.

The graph shows two lines, A and B. A graph is shown with x- and y-axes labeled from 0 to 6 at increments of 1. A straight line

( Part A: Ok 2,6 and 6,2 and 0,3 and 4.5,6 you can add 2,6 and every other number with part b which is 2,6 +0,3= 2,3 and also 2,6+4.5,6= 6.5,12 and you can do the same with 6,2 and you will get 6,5 and 10.5,8)
(Part B: 2,3^6.5,12^6,5^10.5,8)
