Page 323 Problem 1 Answer
It is given a graph of a function that is divided into two identical parts by a line. It is asked to identify the type of the function.
If a line divides a function then there will be two parts of the function. Now, if the two parts are identical then the function will be an even function.
So, the correct option will be even function.
Power Function is of type f(x)=axb
and if a line divides the function into two parts then those two parts are not identical.
So, the power function is an incorrect option.
A function is said to be odd if for all x, f(−x)=−f(x)
and for this function also there is no line that divides the function into two identical parts.
So, the odd function is also an incorrect option.
If a function is divided by a line into two identical parts then the function may not be symmetrical about a line or a point and also may not have end behaviour.
So, end behaviour, symmetric about a point and line are the incorrect options.
If a line divides a function into two identical parts then the function is an even function.

Page 326 Problem 16 Answer
Given: Function f(x)=x3−4x+3.To find: Nature of the function as odd, even or none.
Replacing the valuex=−x
f(−x)=(−x)3−4x+3
f(−x)=−x3+4x+3
Also finding the value of−f(x)
−f(x)=−(x3−4x+3)
−f(x)=−x3+4x−3
So, we can say that f(−x)≠−f(x)
The given function is neither odd nor even function.
Hence, solving for the given condition algebraically, we conclude that the given function is neither odd nor even function.

Given: Function.f(x)=3x5−x
To find: Nature of the function as odd, even or none.
Replacing the valuex=−x
f(−x)=3(−x)5−(−x)
f(−x)=−3x5+x
Also finding the value of−f(x)
−f(x)=−(3x5−x)
−f(x)=−3x5+x
So, we can say that f(−x)=−f(x)
The given function is an odd function

Page 327 Problem 19 Answer
Given :f(x) =−2x7+5x3+x
We will put x in f(x) as −x
If we get the answer as f(x) then it is an even function, if we get -f(x) then it is an odd function.
Otherwise, it is neither even nor odd.
Let us substitute−x in f(x), we get
f(-x) = −2(−x)7+5(−x)3+(−x)
f(-x)=−2(−1)7x7+5(−1)3x3+(−1)x
f(-x)=−2(−1)x7+5(−1)x3+(−1)x
f(-x)=2x7−5x3−x taking (−1) common we get
f(-x)=−(−2x7+5x3+x)
f(-x) = -f(x)
Function f(x) = −2x7+5x3+x is an odd function.
