3-1 Symmetry and Coordinate Graphs Pre Calc A
Point Symmetry • Symmetric about the origin: any point in Quadrant I has a point in Quadrant III (rotate 180˚)
Determining Point Symmetry Algebraically A function, f(x) is symmetric about the origin if and only if f(-x) = -f(x)
Ex 17: • Determine whether each function is symmetric with respect to the origin. a. f(x) = x6 b.g(x)= -3x3 + 5x
Determining Line Symmetry Algebraically For all f(x) when testing for line symmetry the equation must be equal to the original. x-axis: (a, -b) y-axis: (-a, b) y = -x: (-b, -a) y = x: (b, a)
Ex : Determine whether the graph of x² + y = 3 is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, y = x, and y = -x
Ex last one: With a partner determine whether the graph of is symmetric to the origin, x-axis, y-axis, y=x, and y = -x.
