Even and Odd Functions :D

Hmmmmmm... well an even function is a function thats symmetrical on theY-Axis. The input of an even function be it negative f(-X) or positive f(X) will always have the same output. So f(x) = f(-x). Even functions are symmetrical on quadrant 1 and 2 or quadrant 3 and 4.




Example of an even function: Parabola







Odd functions are functions that are symmetrical on the origin. For odd functions the input will come out opposite. this is defined as f(-x) = -f(x). Odd functions are symmetrical on quadrant 1 and 3 or quadrant 2 and 4.

Example of an Odd function: Sin X
