Math Problem Statement
Solution
From your uploaded image, it seems like you are working on identifying whether a function is Odd, Even, or Neither based on symmetry properties of the function's graph.
Key concepts:
-
Even functions:
- Symmetrical about the y-axis.
- .
-
Odd functions:
- Symmetrical about the origin (rotational symmetry of 180°).
- .
-
Neither:
- If a function does not exhibit either symmetry.
Analyzing the Graphs:
-
First Graph:
- The graph can be rotated 180° about the origin and still appear the same.
- This indicates it is an odd function.
- Correct answer: Odd.
-
Second Graph:
- The graph is symmetrical about the y-axis.
- This indicates it is an even function.
- Correct answer: Even.
It seems the selections made in the example provided are incorrect because the symmetry of the graphs was not properly identified.
Would you like a more detailed explanation of these properties or help with additional examples?
