Is f(x) = +or-x a function?

Solution

No.A function must have only one value as output for a value of x.ie,for a same value of x two value of y is not possible.

Here if we put x=1 the y=+1 or -1.
y have two values.So it's not function.

If f: X $\to$ Y is a function defined by f(x) = $2 x^{2} - x$ , check whether the function is an odd function or even function.

f (x) = x - [x] + cos x,

[x] =

f (x) = x - \frac{1}{x}, x ϵ R, x \neq 0

f (x) = {[x]}^{2} - [x^{2}]
