dimetri says that a function that is made of terms where the variable is raised only to an odd power will be an odd function. do you agree with dimetri? explain why or why not.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
An odd - function is defined as (f(-x)=-f(x)) for all (x) in the domain. If a function (f(x)) is composed of terms like (a_nx^{2n + 1}) (where (n) is a non - negative integer and (a_n) is a constant), then (f(-x)=a_n(-x)^{2n + 1}=-a_nx^{2n+1}). Summing up such terms for a function will still satisfy (f(-x)=-f(x)).
Answer:
Yes, I agree with Dimetri. A function made of terms where the variable is raised only to an odd power will be an odd function because for each term (ax^k) with (k) odd, (a(-x)^k=-ax^k), and when we consider the whole function as a sum of such terms, (f(-x)=-f(x)) holds.
