(i) f(x) = x2sinx (ii) f(x) = 1 + x + x2 - 1 - x + x2 (iii) f(x) = log çè ÷
1 + xø
e x + e- x
(iv) f(x) = sinx – cosx (v) f(x) =

Solution (i) f(–x) = (–x)2 sin(–x) = –x2 sinx = –f(x).Hence f(x) is odd.
(ii) f(–x) = 1 + ( - x) + ( - x)2 - 1 - ( - x) + ( - x)2
e - x + e - ( - x) e - x + e x
(v) f(–x) = = = f(x). Hence f(x) is even

ex - 1 2 e -1 2
Hence f(x) is an even function.
(ii) f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) for all x, y Î R
Replacing x, y by zero, we get f(0) = 2f(0) Þ f(0) = 0
Replacing y by –x, we get f(x) + f(–x) = f(0) = 0 Þ f(x) = –f(–x)
Hence f(x) is an odd function.

Note that gof is defined only if " x Î A, f(x) is an element of the domain of ‘g’ so that we can take its
g-image. Hence in gof(x) the range of ‘f’ must be a subset of the domain of ‘g’.
