What make a function an odd function?

Question

make it simple and like a kid wrote it

Answer 1

A function is an odd function if it has a special rule: when you flip the inputs to negative, the outputs also flip to negative.

In simpler terms, if you take a number \( x \) and put it into the function, then if you put in \( -x \), the answer will be the opposite.

So, if you have:

• \( f(2) = 4 \)
• \( f(-2) = -4 \)

Then we can say the function is odd!

It's like a mirror for the numbers, flipping them!
