We have the following definitions:
A function is even if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = f (x). The even functions have reflective symmetry through the y-axis.
A function is odd if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = - f (x). The odd functions have rotational symmetry of 180º with respect to the origin.
We have then:
F (-X) = (- X) 2 + 3
Rewriting:
F (-X) = (X) 2 + 3
F (-X) = F (X)
Answer:
F (-X) = F (X)
The function is even according to the definition:
A function is even if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = f (x). The even functions have reflective symmetry through the y-axis.
A function is odd if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = - f (x). The odd functions have rotational symmetry of 180º with respect to the origin.
We have then:
F (-X) = (- X) 2 + 3
Rewriting:
F (-X) = (X) 2 + 3
F (-X) = F (X)
Answer:
F (-X) = F (X)
The function is even according to the definition:
For a function to be even, it must be symmetrical to the y-axis.
Although we have f(x) = x² + 3, let's just imagine the parent graph
f(x) = x² which has a y-intercept of 0 and is of average width.
This is symmetrical about the y-axis, but we want to know
whether or not f(x) = x² + 3 is symmetrical to the y-axis.
We can shift the parent graph f(x) = x² by adding
a constant, 3, to give us f(x) = x² + 3.
Translating the parent up or down will always result
in an even function because it will always be symmetrical.
