Suppose f (x) is a function such that if p f (x) can be odd or even.

f (x) can be odd but cannot be even.

f (x) can be even but cannot be odd.

f (x) cannot be odd or even.

f (x) can be odd or even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

Suppose f (x) is a function such that if p < q, f (p) < f (q). Which statement best describes f (x) ?

With the information given it is not possible to determine if the function is even or odd.

Even functions: f (-x) = f (x). For examle, (-2) ² = 2², then x² is even

Odd functions: f (-x) = - f (x). For examle, (-2) ³ = - (2³), then x³ is odd

In both cases, x² and x³, if p < q, f (p) < f (q). For example, 1² < 2², and 1³ < 2³
