Answer :
Using the concept of even and odd functions, it is found that, considering the function has a local max at (-1,3):
- If the function is even, it will have another local max at (1,3).
- If the function is odd, it will have a local min at (1,-3).
For a function increasing on [2,5], we have that:
- If the function is even, it will be decreasing on [-5,-2].
- If the function is odd, it will be increasing on [-5,-2].
What are even and odd functions?
- In even functions, we have that f(x) = f(-x) for all values of x.
- In odd functions, we have that f(-x) = -f(x) for all values of x.
- If none of the above statements are true, the function is neither.
Hence, considering the function has a local max at (-1,3):
- If the function is even, it will have another local max at (1,3).
- If the function is odd, it will have a local min at (1,-3).
For a function increasing on [2,5], we have that:
- If the function is even, it will be decreasing on [-5,-2].
- If the function is odd, it will be increasing on [-5,-2].
For even functions it will decrease because we have that f(4) > f(3), for example, hence f(-4) > f(-3).
For the odd function it will increase because if f(4) > f(3), then f(-3) > f(-4) due to the negative signal.
