i know that if f(x)=f(-x) and if f(-x)=-f(x) then its odd.

i tried to do this check on this cases
but its not working

These questions aren't always straight forward, you need to understand how the functions behave. Let's consider the first case:

So you have

[tex]f\left(-x\right) = \log\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) = \log\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)^{-1} = - \log\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right) = -f\left(x\right)[/tex]

Do you follow?
