even functions are
f(-x) = f(x)

odd functions are
f(-x) = -f(x)

when is it neither of them?? and please give me an example of one

an even function has symety around the y axis

eg f(x) = x^2

an odd funtion has rotation symetry

eg f(x) = x^3

an one that is either has no symetry, it cold look like anything

eg f(x) = e^x

in this question is this even, odd, or neither

x + 2 , x<-1
f (x) } x^2 - 2, -1 =<= x =<= 1
2 - x, x >1

Depends what you mean by 'average'. If you stick to 3 unit ur 2 unit maths skills will definitley increase. I used to think 3 unit was impossible but once u put in the effort especially in yr 12 it becomes a lot easier. On the other hand if u hate maths, then well it may be better to just do 2 unit.

Actually, you can. Just with 2 cases, |x|<=1 and |x|>1
