A function f(x)f(x) of real numbers is called even if and only if f(x)=f(−x)f(x)=f(-x) for all xx in the domain of f(x)f(x). It is called odd if and only if f(x)=−f(−x)f(x)=-f(-x) for all xx in the domain.

For instance:

  • f(x)=∣x∣f(x)=|x| for all x∈Rx\in\R is even
  • f(x)=xf(x)=x for all x∈Rx\in\R is odd
  • f(x)=x2−4f(x)=\sqrt{x^2-4} for xx with ∣x∣≥2|x|\ge2 is even
  • f(x)=x−2f(x)=\sqrt{x-2} for xx with x≥2x\ge2 is neither even nor odd

Which of the following statements must be true?

  • 1. If f(x)f(x) is odd, then f′(x)f′(−x)=−1\dfrac{f'(x)}{f'(-x)}=-1 for all xx in the domain
  • 2. If f(x)f(x) is even, then f′(x)f′(−x)=−1\dfrac{f'(x)}{f'(-x)}=-1 for all xx in the domain
  • 3. If f(x)f(x) is odd, then f(0)=0f(0)=0
  • 4. If f(x)f(x) is even, then f(0)=0f(0)=0
  • 5. If f(x)f(x) is odd, then ∫−aaf(x)dx=0\displaystyle\int_{-a}^af(x)\dd x=0 for all aa in the domain
  • 6. If f(x)f(x) is even, then ∫−aaf(x)dx=0\displaystyle\int_{-a}^af(x)\dd x=0 for all aa in the domain
