Is the function even, odd or neither?
y=x^2-2x-8

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if the function is odd, try replacing  x  by  −x :

→ Original equation

 → as you can tell the equation has already changed

 → even if we factor out the negative 1 the 8 at the end would turn positive

Thus,  y  is neither odd nor even.

Another way, if you deal with a polynomial:

Check which of the coefficients are non-zero:

In this case, you can tell there is an odd and an even which makes this function neither

Hope this helps!
