To check for origin symmetry\textbf{origin symmetry}, we need to replace xx with x-x and f(x)f(x) with f(x)-f(x). If we get an equal expression, the function is symmetrical\textbf{symmetrical} in regards to the origin\textbf{origin}.

f(x)=14x7f(x)=14(x)7f(x)=14x7f(x)=14x7\begin{align*} f(x)&=\frac{1}{4x^7}\to -f(x)=\frac{1}{4\left(-x\right)^7} \to -f(x)=-\frac{1}{4x^7}\\ f(x)&=\frac{1}{4x^7}\\ \end{align*}

Since we got a valid expression, f(x)f(x) is symmetrical in regards to the origin\textbf{symmetrical in regards to the origin}.
