The video tutorial introduces the concept of symmetry in graphs, focusing on symmetry about the X-axis, Y-axis, and the origin. It explains how to determine if a graph is symmetrical using visual and algebraic methods. The video provides examples and tests for each type of symmetry, emphasizing that most graphs do not exhibit these symmetries, making the examples special cases.

What is the main goal of the video on symmetry?

• To learn about graph transformations

• To define and determine types of symmetry in graphs

• To solve complex equations

• To understand calculus concepts

Which condition must be met for a graph to have symmetry about the x-axis?

• If (x, y) is on the graph, then (-x, y) is also on the graph

• If (x, y) is on the graph, then (x, -y) is also on the graph

• If (x, y) is on the graph, then (y, x) is also on the graph

• If (x, y) is on the graph, then (-x, -y) is also on the graph
