Step 1
1 of 2

An even function\textbf{An even function}

satisfies the property

f(x)=f(x)f(-x)=f(x)

for all xx in its domain and is symmetric about the y-axis.

An even-degree polynomial function is an even function if the exponent of each term is even\text{\underline{\textcolor{#4257b2}{the exponent of each term is even}}}.

An odd function\textbf{An odd function}

satisfies the property

f(x)=f(x)f(-x)=-f(x)

for all xx in its domain and is symmetric about the y-axis.

An odd-degree polynomial function is an odd function if the exponent of each term is odd\text{\underline{\textcolor{#c34632}{the exponent of each term is odd}}}.
