If a function f is an even function, then what type of symmetry does the graph of f have?
The function f has symmetry with respect to the x-axis
The function f has symmetry with respect to the origin
The function f has symmetry with respect to the y-axis
Solution:
We know that
A function is even if f(x) = f(-x) for all the values of x in its domain.
It means that the function is the same for positive and negative x axis or is graphically symmetric about the y-axis.
Consider f(x) = x2
f(-x) = (-x)2 = x2
Thus we observe f(x) = f(-x)
Therefore, the function f has symmetry with respect to the y-axis.
If a function f is an even function, then what type of symmetry does the graph of f have?
Summary:
If a function f is an even function, then the function f has symmetry with respect to the y-axis.
