    Study Notes

    Even and Odd Functions

    • An even function is symmetric about the y-axis, meaning f(x) = f(-x).
    • Example of an even function: ( f(x) = 7 ) and ( f(x) = |x| ).
    • If ( f(x) = (x^m + 9)^2 ), it is even for any even value of m.

    Graphical Representation

    • Graph C represents an even function.
    • Graph A shows rotational symmetry—a graph that can be rotated around a point and appear unchanged.

    Quadrant Analysis

    • For a graph of an odd function consisting of 14 points where 6 points are in Quadrant I, the maximum in Quadrant II is one point.
    • If an odd function's graph contains points in Quadrant IV, it must also contain points in Quadrant II.

    Function Evaluation

    • To determine if ( f(x) = x^4 - x^3 ) is even, evaluate if ( (-x)^4 - (-x)^3 ) equals ( x^4 - x^3 ).
    • For ( f(x) = x^3 + 5x + 1 ), check if ( (-x)^3 + 5(-x) + 1 ) equals ( x^3 + 5x + 1 ).

    Conclusion

    • Understanding the characteristics of even and odd functions is crucial for graph interpretation and evaluation.
    • Recognizing the symmetry properties of the graphs aids in classifying them efficiently.
