decide whether the following statement is true or false. the cube function is odd and is increasing on the interval (-∞,∞). choose the correct answer below. true false
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Define the cube function
The cube function is (y = f(x)=x^{3}).
Step2: Check if it's odd
We check if (f(-x)=-f(x)). Substitute (-x) into (f(x)): (f(-x)=(-x)^{3}=-x^{3}=-f(x)), so it's odd.
Step3: Check its monotonicity
Take the derivative (y' = f'(x)=3x^{2}\geq0) for all (x\in(-\infty,\infty)), and (y' = 0) only at (x = 0). The function is increasing on ((-\infty,\infty)).
Answer:
True
