Question 334288: Use algebraic tests to check the following for symmetry with respect to the axes and the origin. 2x-8^20=0 "^20=power of Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use algebraic tests to check the following for symmetry with respect to the axes and the origin. 2x-8^20=0 "^20=power of
------------------------
f(x) = 2x-8^20
---
f(-x) = 2(-x)-8^20 = -2x-8^20
---
-f(-x) = -[-2x-8^20] = 2x+8^20
----
f(x) does not equal f(-x) so f is not symmetric to the y-axis
---
f(x) does not equal -f(-x) so f is not symmetric to the origin
