Use the definition of Odd and Even functions to determine whether each of the following functions is Odd, Even, or neither. Must show your work for credit II! 1) \( f(x)=\frac{x}{1-x^{3}} \) 2) \( f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{1+x} \) 3) \( \quad f(x)=x-|x| \)

(1) f(x) = \(\frac{x}{1-x^3}\) 

f(-x) = \(\frac{-x}{1-(-x)^3}\) 

\(\frac{-x}{1+x^3}\) ≠ -f(x) or f(x)

∴ f(x) is neither even nor odd function.

(2) f(x) = \(\frac{x^2}{1+x}\) 

∴ f(-x) = \(\frac{(-x^2)}{1+(-x)}\) 

\(\frac{x^2}{1-x}\) ≠ -f(x) or f(x).

(3) f(x) = x-|x|

∴ f(-x) = -x-|-x|

= -x-|x|

= -(x+|x|) ≠ -f(x) or f(x)

∴ f(x) is neither even nor odd function.
