Which of the following functions is an odd function?
Explanation:
Consider f(x) = |xx| f(2) = 22 = 4, and f(-2) = -2-2 = -1/4 ∵ f(2) ≠ f(-2) hence, f(x) is neither even nor odd. ⇒ 5|xx| is neither even nor odd
Now, consider g(x) = |x||x| g(-x) = |-x||-x| = |x||x| ∴ g(x) is an even function. ⇒ 5|x||x| is also an even function
Hence, option (d).
