Question 1045971: GIVEN +Y=X%5E2%2B3X-2+ , ALGEBRAICALLY TEST WHETHER IT IS EVEN, ODD, OR NEITHER. I don't understand what an equivalent equation is, and hoe to tell whether an equation is even, odd, or neither.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+Y=X%5E2%2B3X-2+
0r
f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 2
Even f(x) = f(-x)
Ex: f(1) ? = f(-1) try it, Substitute x = 1
1+3-2 does not equal 1 - 3 - 2
Odd: -f(x) = f(-x)
Ex: -f(1) ? = f(-1) try it by substituting
-2 does not equal -4
Neither: when neither of the above are true
Neither is the Answer
