If you are given a function's graph, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
IF THE FUNCTION IS EVEN , THEN Y=F(X)=F(-X)....THAT IS IT WILL BE SYMMETRICAL ABOUT ORIGIN.THAT IS IT WILL A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE GRAPH IN I QUADRANT WITH THE MIRROR PLACED ALONG THE Y AXIS..SEE GRAPH BELOW


IF THE FUNCTION IS ODD , THEN Y=F(X)=-F(-X).....THAT IS IT WILL BE A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE GRAPH IN FIRST QUADRANT,THE MIRROR PLACED AT ORIGIN AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE LYING ALONG II AND IV QUADRANT


IF ITS NEITHER EVEN NOR ODD , IT WILL NOT SHOW THE TYPE OF SYMMETRY AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THAT IS IT WILL NOT BE AN IMAGE OF ITSELF WITH MIRROR PLACED ON Y AXIS OR IN 45 DEGREE INCLINATION MENTIONED ABOVE.
