$f(x) = \sin{x}~\color{blue}\text{odd}$
$f(x) = \cos{x}~\color{blue}\text{even}$
$f(x) = \tan{x}~\color{blue}\text{odd}$
$f(x) = \sec{x}~\color{blue}\text{even}$

You may just have to know these.
We can graph each.
If the graph is symmetric about the y-axis, the function is even.
If the graph is symmetric about the origin, the function is odd.
