Math Problem Statement

If f is a function with the property that f(-x) = f(x) for all values of x, which statement must be true?

Solution

The question asks:

If ff is a function with the property that f(x)=f(x)f(-x) = f(x) for all values of xx, which statement must be true?

This property f(x)=f(x)f(-x) = f(x) defines an even function. A function is even if its graph is symmetric about the y-axis. Based on this definition, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

A. The graph of ff is symmetric to the y-axis.

Tip: Even functions have symmetry about the y-axis, while odd functions have symmetry about the origin.
