Symmetry across the y-axis

(−x, y) (x, y)

Symmetry across the y-axis

(−x, y) (x, y)

The graph looks the same when flipped across the y-axis. To test for this type of symmetry:

  • 1. Replace all the x’s with −x and simplify.

Symmetry across the y-axis

(−x, y) (x, y)

The graph looks the same when flipped across the y-axis. To test for this type of symmetry:

  • 1. Replace all the x’s with −x and simplify.
  • 2. If the new equation will simplify back to the original equation, it’s

symmetric across the y-axis.

Even and Odd Functions

Functions that have symmetry are given special names. Even functions are symmetric across the y-axis.

Even and Odd Functions

Functions that have symmetry are given special names. Even functions are symmetric across the y-axis. f (−x) = f (x)

Even and Odd Functions

Functions that have symmetry are given special names. Even functions are symmetric across the y-axis. f (−x) = f (x) Odd functions are symmetric about the origin.

Even and Odd Functions

Functions that have symmetry are given special names. Even functions are symmetric across the y-axis. f (−x) = f (x) Odd functions are symmetric about the origin. f (−x) = −f (x)

Even and Odd Functions

Functions that have symmetry are given special names. Even functions are symmetric across the y-axis. f (−x) = f (x) Odd functions are symmetric about the origin. f (−x) = −f (x) Symmetry across the x-axis isn’t really interesting with functions. Almost any graph you can draw that’s symmetric across the x-axis will fail the vertical line test and so it’s not a function.
