I'm trying to find the axis of symmetry for this probllem: x^3-4y^2-1=0 I don't know what to do about the Y in the expression. It's confusing. And the problem says: determine symmetries (x-axis, y-axis, and origin) for the graph of the following equation.
-----------------
Interchanging +y and -y makes no change, so symmetric to x axis.
---
Interchanging +x and -x does make a change, so no y-axis symmetry.
---
Changing both and taking the negative of the result WILL make
a change, so no origin symmetry.
