Symmetry Essential Question: How do you determine the shape and symmetry of the graph by the polynomial equation?
Even, Odd, or Neither Functions • Not to be confused with End behavior • To determine End Behavior, we check to see if the leading degree is even or odd • With Functions, we are determining symmetry (if the entire function is even, odd, or neither)
Even and Odd Functions (algebraically) A function is even if f(-x) = f(x) If you plug in x and -x and get the same solution, then it’s even. Also: It is symmetrical over the y-axis. A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x) If you plug in x and -x and get opposite solutions, then it’s odd. Also: It is symmetrical over the origin
Even Function Y – Axis SymmetryFold the y-axis (x, y) (-x, y) (x, y) (-x, y)
Test for an Even Function • A function y = f(x) is even if , for each x in the domain of f. f(-x) = f(x) Symmetry with respect to the y-axis
Symmetry with respect to the origin (x, y) (-x, -y) (2, 2) (-2, -2) (1, -2) (-1, 2) Odd Function
Test for an Odd Function • A function y = f(x) is odd if , for each x in the domain of f. f(-x) = -f(x) Symmetry with respect to the Origin
Even, Odd or Neither? Ex. 1 Graphically Algebraically EVEN
Even, Odd or Neither? Ex. 2 Graphically Algebraically ODD
Ex. 3 Even, Odd or Neither? Graphically Algebraically EVEN
Ex. 4 Even, Odd or Neither? Graphically Algebraically Neither
Even, Odd or Neither? EVEN ODD
What do you notice about the graphs of even functions? Even functions are symmetric about the y-axis
What do you notice about the graphs of odd functions? Odd functions are symmetric about the origin
