Steps to determine if a polynomial function is even or odd

The video tutorial explains how to analyze functions by plugging in negative values. It discusses the impact of raising negative expressions to even and odd powers, and how to factor out negatives to simplify expressions. The tutorial also covers identifying odd and even functions through examples, such as F(x) = x^3, and demonstrates practical applications using numbers.

How does raising a negative expression to an even power affect its sign?

Describe the process of factoring out a negative from a function and its implications.

What is the result of F of X when X equals 2 for the function F of X = X^3?

What happens when you plug in negative X into a function that is odd?

Explain the significance of the expression 'F of negative X equals the opposite of F of X' in relation to odd functions.
