Given that is an even function on , if the graph of is translated one unit to the right, then the resulting graph is that of an odd function. If , then the value of is
Pick one
Solution
Since is an even function on , and is an odd function on , we have
, and , (1)
Therefore, , (2)
From (1) and (2), we get (3) always holds,
Therefore, (4)
From (3) and (4), we get always holds,
Therefore, the period of the function is 4.
Since the graph of is translated one unit to the right to get an odd function, we have , which means . By the property of even functions, we know , and by periodicity, we know .
Given , we have , and from , we know , thus .
Therefore, we have .
Therefore, .
Hence, the correct answer is .
