Q84 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (22 Sep Shift 2) · Mathematics

The function $f(x)=\sin x-\cos x$ is ........

  • A
    Odd function
  • B
    Even function
  • Correct answer
    C
    Neither even nor odd function
  • D
    $f(x)$ is not a function

Solution

$$ \text { } \begin{aligned} f(x) & =\sin x-\cos x \\ f(-x) & =\sin (-x)-\cos (-x) \\ f(-x) & =-\sin x-\cos x \\ f(-x) & =-(\sin x+\cos x) \\ f(-x) & \neq f(x) \end{aligned} $$ $\therefore f(x)$ is neither even nor odd function. Hence, option (3) is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
