Is the function x^3 - x + 1 even, odd, or neither? When I graphed this, it looked like it was symmetric about the origin, so I thought that it might be an odd function. Either that or it is neither?
An even number is any integer that can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder. In other words, an even number is any number that is divisible by 2.
To determine if a number is even or odd, you can divide the number by 2. If the result is a whole number, then the number is even. If the result is a decimal or a fraction, then the number is odd.
The main difference between even and odd numbers is that even numbers can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder, while odd numbers cannot be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder.
Zero is an even number. This is because it can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder, and it is the only number that is neither even nor odd.
No, a number cannot be both even and odd at the same time. A number is either even or odd, depending on whether it can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder or not.
