Even and Odd Fcns!!!!




when dealing with functions, If you end up with the exact same function that you started with, For example, f(–x) = f(x), so all of the signs are the same, then the function is even. If you end up with the exact opposite of what you started with for example, f(–x) = –f(x), so all of the "+" signs become "-" signs, then the function is odd. This mirroring about the axis is an even function.




An example of an odd function would be a graph that looks like this:
The mathematical view of A function is y = f(x) is an even function of
x if f(-x) = f(x),odd function of x if
f(-x) = -f(x), for every x in the function's domain.
These two views of even and odd fcns, both prove the same thing.

  2. "If you end up with the exact same function that you started with"

    What does this mean? What is that you're starting with to "end up with" something new?
