Question

Is g(x)= 5x-1 an odd function

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)= 5x-1 is the same as g(x)= 5x^1 - 1x^0, which contains one odd power (x^1) and one even power (x^0).  Therefore, g(x)= 5x-1 is neither even nor odd.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is not an odd function.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ f(-x)=f(x)\ \text{then}\ f(x)\ \text{is an even function.}\\\\\text{If}\ f(-x)=-f(x)\ \text{then}\ f(x)\ \text{is an odd function.}$

======================================================

$g(x)=5x-1\\\\g(-x)=5(-x)-1=-5x-1=-(5x+1)\\\\g(-x)\neq-g(x)\ \wedge\ g(-x)\neq g(x)$
