To determine if the function ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is even or odd, we need to evaluate whether ( f(-x) = f(x) ) for all ( x ) (even function) or ( f(-x) = -f(x) ) for all ( x ) (odd function).
Let's check:
- For even functions: ( f(-x) = f(x) ) [ f(-x) = (-x)^3 + 1 = -x^3 + 1 ] [ f(x) = x^3 + 1 ]
Since ( f(-x) ) is not equal to ( f(x) ), ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is not an even function.
- For odd functions: ( f(-x) = -f(x) ) [ f(-x) = (-x)^3 + 1 = -x^3 + 1 ] [ -f(x) = -(x^3 + 1) = -x^3 - 1 ]
Since ( f(-x) ) is not equal to ( -f(x) ), ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is not an odd function.
Therefore, ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is neither an even nor an odd function.

To determine if the function ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is even or odd, we need to examine its symmetry properties under reflection about the y-axis and the origin.
-
Even functions satisfy the property ( f(x) = f(-x) ) for all ( x ) in their domain. If ( f(x) = f(-x) ), then the function is even.
-
Odd functions satisfy the property ( f(x) = -f(-x) ) for all ( x ) in their domain. If ( f(x) = -f(-x) ), then the function is odd.
For ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ):
-
Test for evenness: ( f(x) = f(-x) ): ( (x^3 + 1) = ((-x)^3 + 1) ) This simplifies to: ( x^3 + 1 = -x^3 + 1 ) As we can see, the function is not even because the left-hand side does not equal the right-hand side.
-
Test for oddness: ( f(x) = -f(-x) ): ( (x^3 + 1) = -((-x)^3 + 1) ) This simplifies to: ( x^3 + 1 = -(-x^3 + 1) ) This simplifies further to: ( x^3 + 1 = x^3 - 1 ) This is also not true, so the function is not odd either.
Therefore, ( f(x) = x^3 + 1 ) is neither even nor odd.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
