Is the function ??? Get back to me if I'm wrong

Remember, if then the function is an even function. If then the function is an odd function.

First, let's see if is an even function.

Start with the given function.

Replace each x with -x.

Simplify. Note: only the terms with an odd exponent will change in sign.

So this shows us that which means that
Since , this shows us that is not an even function.

------------------------

Now, let's see if is an odd function.

Start with the given function.

Negate the entire function by placing a negative outside the function.

Distribute and simplify.

So this shows us that which means that
Since , this shows us that is an odd function.

--------------------------
Answer:
So the function is an odd function.
