Question 6
2 marks

Determine whether the function \(f(x) = x^2 \cos x + |x|\) is an odd function, an even function, or neither.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7
3 marks

A function \(h(x)\) is defined by \(h(x) = \frac{e^{x^2} \sin x}{x^4 + 1}\). By considering the symmetry of its components, determine whether \(h(x)\) is an odd function, an even function, or neither.

Question 8
5 marks

A differentiable function \(f(x)\) defined on \(\mathbb{R}\) is expressed as the sum of an even function \(g(x)\) and an odd function \(h(x)\). If \(g(x) = x^4 + 3\) and the derivative \(h'(x)\) satisfies \(h'(x) = e^x + e^{-x}\), determine the value of \(f(\ln 2)\).
