If f(x)f(x) is even and g(x)g(x) is odd, what type of function is h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x) = f(x) + g(x) (assuming neither is zero)?

  • A

    Even

  • B

    Both

  • C

    Odd

  • D

    Neither

    check_circle

Explanation

h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=f(x)g(x)h(-x) = f(-x) + g(-x) = f(x) - g(x), which is neither h(x)h(x) nor h(x)-h(x).
