The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1+x+x^2} - \sqrt{1-x+x^2} \) is even, odd, or neither, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find \( f(-x) \) We start by substituting \(-x\) into the function: \[ f(-x) = \sqrt{1 + (-x) + (-x)^2} - \sqrt{1 - (-x) + (-x)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ f(-x) = \sqrt{1 - x + x^2} - \sqrt{1 + x + x^2} \] ### Step 2: Rearranging \( f(-x) \) Now, we can rearrange the expression for \( f(-x) \): \[ f(-x) = -\left(\sqrt{1 + x + x^2} - \sqrt{1 - x + x^2}\right) \] This can be rewritten as: \[ f(-x) = -f(x) \] ### Step 3: Conclusion Since we have found that \( f(-x) = -f(x) \), we can conclude that the function \( f(x) \) is an odd function. ### Final Answer The function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1+x+x^2} - \sqrt{1-x+x^2} \) is an **odd function**. ---
