\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A function is \"even\" when:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+f%28-x%29\" for all \"x\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\"G%28-x%29++=++-%28-x%29%5E4%2B32%28-x%29%5E2%2B144\"...since \"%28-x%29%5E4\" will be same as\"+%28x%29%5E4\", and \"%28-x%29%5E2\" will be same as \"%28x%29%5E2\", we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"G%28-x%29++=++-x%5E4%2B32x%5E2%2B144\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your function is \"even\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is it odd:\r
