Step 1
1 of 4

y=9x2y=9(x)2y=9x2y=\sqrt{9-x^{2}} \\ y=\sqrt{9-\left( -x\right)^{2}} \\ y=\sqrt{9-x^{2}}

We can narrow down our options by checking for symmetry. We only have to check for yy-axis symmetry and origin symmetry because none of the options have xx-axis symmetry. Two of the four options have yy-axis symmetry, so let's check for that type of symmetry first. To check for yy-axis symmetry, first replace xx with x-x. Then simplify. The resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation; that means that there IS yy-axis symmetry.
