About LinkBacksHow do you do this without solving algebraically?
Just by looking at the equation how do you tell which one it is?
for example is the following function even, odd or neither?
y=x^3/(x^5-x^2)
explanations appreciated

Now note that. Since this is not equal to f(x) and not equal to -f(x) the function is neither even nor odd.
Hello, smiley_x!
If the function is composed of polynomials only, there is an "eyeball" rule.How do you do this without solving algebraically?

. .
. . If all the exponents ofare even, it is an even function.
. . If all the exponent of
Note that a constant is an even term,
. . becausehas an even exponent.
The given function has both even and odd exponents.
. . It is a Neither.
