Exploring Even and Odd Trigonometric Functions

The video tutorial explains the concepts of even and odd functions, highlighting their symmetrical properties. It discusses how these properties apply to trigonometric functions, specifically cosine and sine, and introduces reflection identities. A proof is provided to demonstrate the use of these identities in solving trigonometric equations.

What is a key characteristic of an even function?

• Its graph is not symmetrical.

• Its graph is symmetrical about the origin.

• Its graph is symmetrical about the y-axis.

• Its graph is symmetrical about the x-axis.
