Neither.
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).
You can tell if a function is even or odd by looking at its graph. If a function has rotational symmetry about the origin (meaning it can be rotated 180 degrees about the origin and remain the same function) it is an odd function. f(-x)=-f(x) An example of an odd function is the parent sine function: y=sinx If a function has symmetry about the y-axis (meaning it can be reflected across the y-axis to produce the same image) it is an even function. f(x)=f(-x) An example of an even function is the parent quadratic function: y=x2

Basically, a knowledge of even and odd functions can simplify certain calculations. One place where they frequently appear is when using trigonometric functions - for example, the sine function is odd, while the cosine function is even.
The square root of 512 is neither an integer, nor even a rational number, so it has no prime factorization.
Only if the negative sign is associated with an even root. In that case, the number is neither rational nor irrational, but is imaginary.
The sign of a rational number does not depend on whether it is odd or even.
Every odd or even number is a rational number, and there are a lot more rational numbers besides those.
Yes. Every even number is a rational number.
All rational numbers CAN be expressed as a ratio of two integers. They may appear, before simplification, to be expressed in other forms. For example, the rational number 1 can be written as the ratio sin(45)/cos(45) even though neither numerator nor denominator is an integer.
Looking at the graph of the function can give you a good idea. However, to actually prove that it is even or odd may be more complicated. Using the definition of "even" and "odd", for an even function, you have to prove that f(x) = f(-x) for all values of "x"; and for an odd function, you have to prove that f(x) = -f(-x) for all values of "x".
