The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of an odd function and the implications of the given information. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Odd Functions**: An odd function \( f(x) \) satisfies the property: \[ f(-x) = -f(x) \] This means that if you take the function at the negative of any input, the output will be the negative of the function at that input. 2. **Given Information**: We are given that \( f(a) = b \). 3. **Applying the Property of Odd Functions**: To find \( f(-a) \), we apply the property of odd functions: \[ f(-a) = -f(a) \] Since we know \( f(a) = b \), we substitute this into the equation: \[ f(-a) = -b \] 4. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement I**: \( f(a) = -b \) - This is false because we know \( f(a) = b \). - **Statement II**: \( f(-a) = b \) - This is also false because we found \( f(-a) = -b \). - **Statement III**: \( f(-a) = -b \) - This is true as derived from the property of odd functions. 5. **Conclusion**: The only statement that must be true is Statement III: \( f(-a) = -b \). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is Statement III only.
