The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given functions is neither odd nor even, we need to analyze each option based on the definitions of odd and even functions. ### Definitions: 1. **Even Function**: A function \( f(x) \) is called even if for every \( x \) in the domain, \( f(-x) = f(x) \). 2. **Odd Function**: A function \( f(x) \) is called odd if for every \( x \) in the domain, \( f(-x) = -f(x) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Check Option A**: - Let's denote the function as \( f(x) \). - For \( x = 1 \), suppose \( f(1) = 2 \). - For \( x = -1 \), suppose \( f(-1) = 2 \). - Since \( f(-1) = f(1) \), this means \( f(x) \) is even. **Conclusion for Option A**: This function is even. 2. **Check Option B**: - Let's denote the function as \( g(x) \). - For \( x = 1 \), suppose \( g(1) = 2 \). - For \( x = -1 \), suppose \( g(-1) = -2 \). - Here, \( g(-1) = -g(1) \), which means \( g(x) \) is odd. **Conclusion for Option B**: This function is odd. 3. **Check Option C**: - Let's denote the function as \( h(x) \). - For \( x = 1 \), \( h(1) = 1^3 - 1 = 0 \). - For \( x = -1 \), \( h(-1) = (-1)^3 - 1 = -1 - 1 = -2 \). - Now, we check: - For even: \( h(-1) \neq h(1) \) (since \(-2 \neq 0\)). - For odd: \( h(-1) \neq -h(1) \) (since \(-2 \neq -0\)). - Therefore, this function does not satisfy the conditions for being either even or odd. **Conclusion for Option C**: This function is neither odd nor even. ### Final Answer: The function that is neither odd nor even is **Option C**.
