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)=5x2+6x+9f(x)=5(x)26x+9f(x)=5x26x+9f(x)5x2+6x9\begin{align*} f(x)&=5x^2+6x+9 \to -f(x)=5\left(-x\right)^2 -6x+9 \to -f(x)=5x^2 -6x +9\\ f(x)&\ne -5x^2+6x-9\\ \end{align*}

Since we did not get a valid expression, f(x)f(x) is not symmetrical in regards to the origin\textbf{not symmetrical in regards to the origin}.
