Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to understand the properties of odd and even functions.
Odd Function Property:
A function is said to be odd if for all in the domain of :
Now, let's analyze each option:
-
Option A:
Since is odd, we know that . However, this property does not give us information about whether will be even or odd because it depends on the nature of itself. If is odd, is not necessarily even. -
Option B:
Shifting an odd function by any constant does not guarantee that the resulting function will be even. So, is not necessarily even. -
Option C: None of these
This option will be true if none of the other options result in an even function. -
Option D:
Similarly to option B, shifting the function by a constant does not make an odd function even. Thus, is not necessarily even. -
Option E:
The function is the negative of an odd function. However, negating an odd function still results in an odd function (since ). So, is still an odd function and not necessarily even.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is C. None of these because none of the given options must necessarily be even.
