You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f%28x%29=5%2Fx%5E8 is an even function
A function is "even" when:f%28x%29+=+f%28-x%29 for all x
since x%5E8 is same as %28-x%29%5E8
there is symmetry about the y-axis (like a reflection)
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+5%2Fx%5E8%2C5%2Fx%5E8%29+
