Determine even or odd function f x = sin x + tgx-x ^ 3

The function is even if f (-x) = f (x).

The function is odd if f (-x) = – f (x).

Consider the function f (x) = sin x + tan x – x ^ 3:

f (-x) = sin (-x) + tg (-x) – (-x) ^ 3.

Let us simplify by trigonometric formulas:

sin (-x) = -sin x,

tg (-x) = – tg x.

(-x) ^ 3 = (-1) ^ 3 * x ^ 3 = – x ^ 3.

We get:

f (-x) = sin (-x) + tg (-x) – (-x) ^ 3 = -sin x – tan x + x ^ 3 = – (sin x + tan x – x ^ 3) = – f (x).

Because f (-x) = – f (x), then the function is odd.
