Problem 1

a) The derivative of an even function is odd.

Let f ( x) = f (− x) for all x ∈ dom( f ) . Differentiating both sides with respect to x ,
we get: f '( x) = − f '(− x) ⇔ − f '( x) = f '(−x) . Hence, the derivative function is an
odd function.

b) The derivative of an odd function is even.

(Prove using reasoning similar to above.)
