    Study Notes

    Line Symmetry

    • A graph has line symmetry about the y-axis if it can be folded along the y-axis, resulting in both halves matching perfectly.
    • Graph 'b' demonstrates line symmetry about the y-axis.

    Even Functions

    • An even function is defined by the property that f(x) = f(-x) for all x in its domain.
    • Graph 'c' represents an even function.
    • Example of an even function: f(x) = |x|, which is symmetric about the y-axis.

    Rotational Symmetry

    • A graph exhibits rotational symmetry if it looks the same after being rotated about a central point.
    • Graph 'a' is an example of a graph that shows rotational symmetry.

    Increasing Functions

    • A function f(x) is considered increasing on an interval if for any p < q, f(p) < f(q).
    • It is possible for a function to be odd (symmetric with respect to the origin) but not even (symmetric with respect to the y-axis), as stated about f(x).

    Odd Functions

    • An odd function meets the condition f(-x) = -f(x) for its domain.
    • Graphs of odd functions must include symmetrical points in Quadrant IV and the third quadrant due to their symmetry about the origin.

    Determining Odd Functions

    • To verify if a function, such as f(x) = 9 - 4x², is odd, one needs to test whether it satisfies the odd function condition.
