Ex . Define Even and Odd function.
Ans: The given function f(x) is said to be Even function if and only if f(x) = f (-x).
And
The given function f(x) is said to be Odd function if and only if f(-x) =- f(x).

Ans : f(x) =
f(2) = ( ) ( )
= 4a +2b+3
f(1) = ( ) ( )
= a+b+3
Since f(1)= 4 and f(2)=11
4a +2b+3 =11
4a +2b=11-3
4a +2b = 8 ………………………………..1)
And a+b+3 =4
a+b+3 =4
a+b=1
a=1-b
Now, substitute a=1-b in equation 1) , we get
4(1-b)+2b=8
4-2b=8
2b=4-8
2b = 4
