Determine which function is an odd function.

Solution:

In order to determine which function is an odd function, we simply take a look at the numerical coefficient and the degree or the exponent of the function, hence in our case, if we have an even exponent, then it is categorized as an even function, whereas if the function has an odd exponent, then the function is categorized to be an odd function. In our case, we'll have,

g(x) = 5x - 1
g(x) = 3

Final answer:

g(x) = 5x - 1
g(x) = 3
