For f ( x ) = sin x 2 ,
f ( − x ) = sin ( − x ) = sin x 2 = f ( x )
2

So, f ( x ) = sin x 2 is even.

For f ( x ) = cos x 3 ,
f ( − x ) = cos ( − x ) = cos ( − x 3 ) = cos x 3 = f ( x )
3

So, f ( x ) = cos x 3 is even.

For f ( x ) = sin x 3 ,
f ( − x ) = sin ( − x ) = sin ( − x 3 ) = − sin x 3 = − f ( x )
3

So, f ( x ) = sin x 3 is odd.

27.
For f ( x ) = cos ( x + x 2 ) ,

f ( − x ) = cos ( ( − x ) + ( − x ) ) = cos ( x + x ) = f ( x )
2 2

So, f ( x ) = cos ( x + x 2 ) is even.

For f ( x ) = sin x ,
f ( − x ) = sin − x = sin x = f ( x )
So, f ( x ) = sin x is even.
For f ( x ) = ln x,
f ( − x ) = ln ( − x )  f ( x )  − f ( x )
So, f ( x ) = ln x is neither even nor odd.

Consider, f ( x1 ) = f ( x2 )
 x13 − x1 = x23 − x2
 x13 − x23 − x1 + x2 = 0
 ( x1 − x2 ) ( x12 + x1 x2 + x2 2 ) − ( x1 − x2 ) = 0

 f is not one-one.
