Solution

fx=x3 and gx=x2+1Consider fgx=fx2+1 By defn. of g=x2+13 By defn. of f=x23+13+3x2×1x2+1=x5+1+3x2x2+1=x5+1+3x4+3x2Now consider fg-x=-x5+1+3-x4+3-x2=-x5+1+3x4+3x2Which is neither odd nor even function.Try other parts as a part of practise.Note:If f is an even functionSo, f-x=fxIf f is an odd functionSo, f-x=-fx
