You can put this solution on YOUR website! The graph of 2y^4 -x^2 +11 =0 is symmetric with respect which of the following?
----
y^4 = (x^2-11)
So f(x) = (x^2-11)^(1/4)
f(-x) = (x^2-11)^(1/4)
-f(-x) = -(x^2-11)^(1/4)
---
Since f(x) = f(-x) you have y-axis symmetry.
Since f(x) does not equal -f(-x) you do not have origin symmetry.
