You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let g(x) and h(x) both be ODD functions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then g(-x) = -g(x) for all x in the domain of g(x)
\n" ); document.write( "and h(-x) = -h(x) for all x in the domain of h(x)
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "Let's see what happens when we multiply g(-x) by h(-x):
\n" ); document.write( "g(-x)*h(-x) = (-g(x))*(-h(x)) = g(x)*h(x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "If we let a(x) = the product g(x)*h(x) we see that a(-x) = a(x) for all x in domain of a(x), which fits the definition of an EVEN function.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
