arctan(x) is an _____ function (odd/even):
- Even
- ODD (arctan(-x) = -arctan(x))
- Neither
- Both
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. ODD (arctan(-x) = -arctan(x))
arctan(-x) = -arctan(x). Odd function.
(Graph symmetric about origin.) Same for arcsin.
arccos is neither (arccos(-x) = π - arccos(x)).
