Understanding Even, Odd, and Neither Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a graph represents an even, odd, or neither function. It describes the characteristics of even functions, which have symmetry across the y-axis, and odd functions, which have rotational symmetry about the origin. The tutorial analyzes three graphs to determine their function type, using symmetry and rotation tests. The first graph is identified as odd, the second as even, and the third as neither.

What characteristic defines an even function in terms of its graph?

• No symmetry

• Symmetry across the x-axis

• Symmetry across the y-axis

• Rotational symmetry about the origin

Which of the following is true for an odd function?

• f(x) = f(x)

• f(x) = 0

• f(x) = -f(-x)

• f(x) = f(-x)

What type of symmetry does an odd function's graph exhibit?

• Symmetry across the x-axis

• Symmetry across the y-axis

• Rotational symmetry about the origin

• No symmetry

In the first graph, what happens when you fold it across the y-axis?

• The two halves do not match

• The graph disappears

• The two halves match perfectly

• The graph becomes a straight line

What is the result of rotating the first graph 180 degrees?

• The graph disappears

• The graph looks different

• The graph becomes a straight line

• The graph looks the same

What does the second graph demonstrate when folded across the y-axis?

• The two halves match perfectly

• The two halves do not match

• The graph disappears

• The graph becomes a straight line

For the second graph, what is true about f(x) and f(-x)?

• f(x) = -f(-x)

• f(x) = x

• f(x) = f(-x)

• f(x) = 0

What is the conclusion about the third graph's symmetry?

• It is both even and odd

• It is neither even nor odd

• It is an odd function

• It is an even function

What happens when you rotate the third graph about the origin?

• It looks the same after a full rotation

• It disappears

• It looks the same after half a rotation

• It looks different after any rotation

Why is the third graph considered neither even nor odd?

• It has both types of symmetry

• It has symmetry across the x-axis

• It is a straight line

• It has no symmetry
