Even and Odd Functions

Front

What is an even function?

Back

A function f(x) is called an even function if for every x in the domain, f(-x) = f(x). This means the graph of the function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Front

What is an odd function?

Back

A function f(x) is called an odd function if for every x in the domain, f(-x) = -f(x). This means the graph of the function is symmetric with respect to the origin.

Front

What does it mean if a function is neither even nor odd?

Back

A function is neither even nor odd if it does not satisfy the conditions for being even or odd. This means that f(-x) is not equal to f(x) and also not equal to -f(x) for all x in the domain.
