Determine algebraically whether the function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. f as a function of x is equal to x plus quantity 12 over x

y = x + 4/x

replace x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. if you do, the function is even. replace y with -y AND x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. If you do, the function is odd. A function can be either even or odd but not both. Or it can be neither one. Let's first replace x with -x

y = -x + 4/-x = -x - 4/x = -(x + 4/x)

we see that this function is not the same because the original function has been multiplied by -1 . Let's replace y with -y and x with -x

-y = -x + 4/-x

-y = -x - 4/x

-y = -(x + 4/x)

y = x + 4/x

This is the original equation so the function is odd.

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does

your answer would be 12
