If f(x) is an even function and g(x) is an odd function, which of the following must be even?I. f(g(x))II. f(x) + g(x)III. f(x)g(x)
Question
If f(x) is an even function and g(x) is an odd function, which of the following must be even?I. f(g(x))II. f(x) + g(x)III. f(x)g(x)
Solution
To determine which of the given expressions must be even, we need to use the properties of even and odd functions.
-
f(g(x)):
- Since is an odd function, .
- Since is an even function, .
- Therefore, .
- This shows that is even.
-
f(x) + g(x):
- Since is even, .
- Since is odd, .
- Therefore, .
- This is not necessarily equal to , so is not necessarily even.
-
f(x)g(x):
- Since is even, .
- Since is odd, .
- Therefore, .
- This shows that is odd, not even.
So, the only expression that must be even is:
I.
