Step 1.1

Find $f (- x)$ by substituting $- x$ for all occurrence of $x$ in $f (x)$ .

$f (- x) = \sqrt[3]{4 {(- x)}^{2}}$

Step 1.2

Apply the product rule to $- x$ .

$f (- x) = \sqrt[3]{4 {(- 1)}^{2} x^{2}}$

Step 1.3

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (- x) = \sqrt[3]{4 \cdot (1 x^{2})}$

Step 1.4

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$f (- x) = \sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}}$

Step 2

A function is even if $f (- x) = f (x)$ .

Step 2.1

Check if $f (- x) = f (x)$ .

Step 2.2

Since $\sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}} = \sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}}$ , the function is even.

The function is even
