Determine whether the function f(x) = 3(x − 1)4 is even or odd.

the function is odd

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x) is said to be even if f(-x) = f(x)

On the other hand, f(x) is said to be odd if f(-x)≠ f(x).

We plug in -x in place of x in the given function and simplify;

f(-x) = 3(-x-1)^4

f(-x) = 3[-1(x+1)]^4

f(-x) = 3 *(-1)^4 * (x+1)^4

f(-x) = 3(x+1)^4 ≠ f(x)

Therefore, the function given is odd
