We wouldn’t talk about a function with x-axis symmetry because it wouldn’t BE a function.

Given
A function is even if for every number x in the domain.
If you plug a –x into the function and you get the original function back again, the function is even.
Same!Even Function
Given
A function is odd if for every number x in the domain.
If you plug a –x into the function and you get the negative of the function back (all terms change signs), the function
is odd.
Odd Function
ALL signs of the terms changed!
A function is even if for every number x in the domain.
If you plug a –x into the function and you get the original function back again, the function is even.
