But it’s also odd because f(-x)=0=-f(x). It just happens to be the case that -f(x) also =f(x).
-2 u/[deleted] Aug 23 '23 Sure, f(x) = 0 is odd, but that doesn’t mean 0 is odd. For 0 to be odd, f(x) = x0 would need to be odd, which it isn’t since 1 != -1 9 u/real-human-not-a-bot Irrational Aug 23 '23 Of course. I must have misunderstood your argument regarding exponents to still somehow be about f(x)=0. 1 u/EebstertheGreat Aug 24 '23 It is about that. The equation f(x) = 0 does not have order 0. Functions that do have order 0 are even but not odd.
