Solution Summary

This solution illustrates and lists steps involved in determining if a function is odd, even or neither.

Solution Preview

To determine wether the function is even or odd, use the following rules:
For an even function, the following is true: f(x) = f(-x)
For an odd function, the following must be true: f(-x) = -f(x)

(a) f(x) = x^2 + 2 ...
