(-x,y) (x,y) (x,y) (x,-y) (x,y) (-x,-y) Symmetries of Graphs of Equations in x and y
Example 3 Complete the graph of the following if b) Symmetric w.r.t origin a) Symmetric w.r.t y-axis c) Symmetry with respect to y-axis d) Symmetry with respect to origin e) Symmetric w.r.t x-axis
Example 4 Determine whether an equation is symmetric w.r.t y-axis, x-axis ,origin or none a) y = 3x4 + 5x2 –4 b) y = -2x5 +4x3 +7x c) y = x3 +x2 Substitute x by –x y = ( -x )5 + ( -x )2 = - x5 + x2 Different equation Solution: Substitute x by –x and y by - y (-y) = -2 (-x)5 + 4( -x )3 +7(-x) = 2x5 – 4x3 – 7x = - (-2x5 +4x3 +7 ) Same equation • Substitute x by –x • y = 3( -x )4 + 5 ( -x )2 - 4 • = 3x4 + 5x2 – 4 • Same equation Symmetry w.r.t y-axis Even if we substitute –y for y, we get different equations Symmetry w.r.t origin
