INCREASING AND DECREASING, EVEN and ODD FUNCTIONS

 

 Find out here, "what is an EVEN FUNCTION, an ODD FUNCTION and MONOTONIC FUNCTIONS"

 

 

To show that the function is strictly decreasing over the given interval we must obtain the derivative of the function and show that this is negative for all values of x on the domain.
 
 

 

TO SHOW THE FUNCTION IS EVEN, ODD or NEITHER

i got a question, i know the odd function is f(-x) = -f(x) but when you apply the RHS of rule does it affect signs of positive constants, or just values with X in?

on the RHS when you have -f(x) you have the negative of the function. So if f(x) was say f(x) = 2x+1 then -f(x) would be -(2x+1) or in other words -2x-1
But on the LHS where you have f(-x) then if f(x)=2x+1 then f(-x)=2(-x)+1 or in other words -2x+1
In this case they are different so this function is not odd
