Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)} = - \operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$\operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)} = \operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)}$$
- Yes
so, the function
is
odd
So, check:
$$\operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)} = - \operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$\operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)} = \operatorname{erf}{\left(x \right)}$$
- Yes
so, the function
is
odd
