    PC Functions Odd Even

    Uploaded by

    Hector R.
    The document discusses even, odd, and neither functions. It explains that even functions have y-axis symmetry, so f(-x) = f(x). Odd functions have origin symmetry, so f(-x) = -f(x). A function is even if plugging in -x gives the original function. A function is odd if plugging in -x gives the negative of the original function. The document provides examples of determining if functions are even, odd, or neither.

    the graph, the point (-x, y) is also on the graph.

    x-axis Symmetry
    We wouldn’t talk about a function with x-axis symmetry
    because it wouldn’t BE a function.

    A function is even if f( -x) = f(x) for every number x in
    the domain.

    So if you plug a –x into the function and you get the


    original function back again it is even.

    f ( x) = 5x − 2 x + 1
    4 2 Is this function even?
    YES
    f ( − x ) = 5(− x) − 2(− x) + 1 = 5 x − 2 x + 1
    4 2 4 2

    f ( x ) = 2 x − x Is this function even?

    NO
    f ( − x ) = 2(−x) − (−x) = −2 x + x

    A function is odd if f( -x) = - f(x) for every number x in
    the domain.

    So if you plug a –x into the function and you get the


    negative of the function back again (all terms change signs)
    it is odd.

    f ( x) = 5x − 2 x + 1
    4 2 Is this function odd?
    NO
    f ( − x ) = 5(− x) − 2(− x) + 1 = 5 x − 2 x + 1
    4 2 4 2

    f ( x ) = 2 x − x Is this function odd? YES

    f ( − x ) = 2(−x) − (−x) = −2 x + x

    If a function is not even or odd we just say neither
    (meaning neither even nor odd)

    Determine if the following functions are even, odd or


    neither.
    Not the original and all
    f ( x) = 5x − 1
    3
    terms didn’t change
    signs, so NEITHER.

    f ( − x ) = 5( − x ) − 1 = − 5 x − 1
    3 3

    f ( x ) = −3 x − x + 2
    4 2 Got f(x) back so
    EVEN.

    f ( − x ) = −3(− x) − (− x) + 2 = −3 x − x + 2
