| Topic | Composite & Inverse Functions |
| Type | Verify composite identity |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This question tests basic understanding of odd/even function properties through straightforward algebraic manipulation. Part (i) requires showing s(-x) = -s(x) using the given property that f(-x) = -f(x) and g(-x) = -g(x), which is a direct application. Part (ii) similarly requires checking p(-x) = f(-x)g(-x) = (-f(x))(-g(x)) = f(x)g(x) = p(x) to conclude p is even. Both parts are routine exercises in function properties with minimal steps, requiring only recall and basic substitution rather than problem-solving or insight. |

Question 5:

= (f(x) + g(x))
= s(x) ( so s is odd ) | M1

(ii) | p(x) = f(x)g(x)
=( f(x)) (g(x))
= f(x)g(x) = p(x)

[2] | must have p(−x) = …
Allow SC1 for showing that p(−x) = p(x)
using two specific odd functions, but in this
case they must still show that p is even | e.g. f(x) = x, g(x) = x3, p(x) = x4
p(−x) = (−x)4 = x4 = p(x) , so p even
condone f and g being the same

You are given that f(x) and g(x) are odd functions, defined for $x \in \mathbb{R}$.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Given that s(x) = f(x) + g(x), prove that s(x) is an odd function. [2]
\item Given that p(x) = f(x)g(x), determine whether p(x) is odd, even or neither. [2]
\end{enumerate}
