Is the function y = sinx-tgx even or odd?

A function is even if the following condition is met for any of its arguments:

f (x) = f (-x).

A function is odd if equality is satisfied for any of its arguments:

f (-x) = -f (x).

f (x) = sin x – tg x.

The function is the difference between the sine and the tangent of the argument. Both trigonometric functions are odd.

Find f (-x):

f (-x) = sin (-x) – tg (-x) = -sin x – (-tg x) = tg x – sin x.

Find -f (x):

-f (x) = – (sin x – tg x) = tg x – sin x.

f (-x) = -f (x), so the function is odd.
