1.03 Even and Odd Symmetry (Filled In) PDF

1. The document discusses key features of graphs of polynomial functions with even and odd degrees based on whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative. It also discusses even and odd symmetry of functions. 2. Examples of functions are provided and classified as having even, odd, or neither symmetry based on their algebraic properties without graphing. 3. It is concluded that odd degree functions can only have odd symmetry as even symmetry would require the function values on both sides of the y-axis to have the same direction, and that even degree functions can only have even symmetry if all terms have even exponents.

Even/Odd Degree vs. Even/Odd Symmetry YE absolute max


A polynomial function can be described as even or odd depending on its degree.

eg. y Fdd
x3 + x 2 1 ________________________ y 01 even
3x 4 + x 7 _________________________
degree

Additionally, a function can be described as having even or odd symmetry based on symmetrical properties of the
graph.

Even Symmetry means that the function is symmetric, specifically, over the y-axis, as opposed to line symmetry
where the function is symmetric over any line.

Odd Symmetry means that the function is symmetric, specifically, about the origin, as opposed to point symmetry
where the function is symmetric over any point.
Beside each of the functions shown below, write the type of symmetry demonstrated (i.e. even, odd, or neither).

Algebraically Verifying Even and Odd Symmetry
Functions can be identified as having even or odd symmetry without graphing as they will follow certain algebraic
patterns based on the properties of reflection.

Functions with even symmetry will satisfy the equation: f ( x ) f ( x)


Functions with odd symmetry will satisfy the equation: f ( x) f ( x)

Recall: -if an even function has symmetry, the symmetry can only be even (or line).
-if an odd function has symmetry, the symmetry can only be odd (or point).

Examples: Without graphing, determine if each polynomial function’s symmetry is even, odd, or neither.
