9.1 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

We know g(x)=cosx g \left(x\right) = \cos x is an even function, and f(x)=sinx f \left(x\right) = \sin x and h(x)=tanx h \left(x\right) = \tan x are odd functions. What about G(x)= cos 2 x,F(x)= sin 2 x, G \left(x\right) = \cos^{2} x , F \left(x\right) = \sin^{2} x , and H(x)= tan 2 x? H \left(x\right) = \tan^{2} x ? Are they even, odd, or neither? Why?
