Question

Is a function f(x)= 1/x odd or even?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the function is odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is even if f(−x)=f(x) . f(x) is odd if f(−x)=−f(x) . Since −1x=−f(x).

Answer 2

Answer:

Odd

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways a function can be determined even or odd.

1. Graph

If the line of symmetry is the y=axis, the function is even.

If it can be rotated 180˚ about the origin and lines up with the original equation, it is odd.

If none of the cases above are satisfied, the function is neither.

2. f(-x)

If you substitute -x for x and you get the equation to be the same as before, the function is even.

If you substitute -x for x and you get the previous equation * -1, the function is odd.

If none of the cases above are satisfied, the function is neither.
