Even: When a function is even the equation is f(-x))=f(x), which means that the function is symmetrical on the y-axis. When this function is graphed it is going to a reflection on the y-axis from quadrant 1 to quadrant 2.
Odd: the equation to find out if the function is odd is f(-x))=-f(x). This means that the function will be graphed symmetrical to the origin. When this function is graphed it is going to be reflected over the y-axis and then the x-axis leaving the function on quadrant 3 if the normal function is in quadrant 1.

hey this is a very good explanation,,,! however, a picture would have looked good!
ReplyDeletethen that means that when you ever have x^3, x^5, x^7 (etc.) in a equation, that means that the equation is odd?
ReplyDeletethe function is odd because the exponents are odd numbers.
to javier: omg u are sooo right!, thank you
ReplyDeleteand to the post, well pic's could have been helpfull but in the end everything seems good
Yes, this is the definition, but it does not answer what I asked you to write about. You need to explain why the math symbols f(x)=f(-x) means that it's symmetrical about the y-axis!
