Even Symmetry

Definition

Even symmetry refers to a property of functions where the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. This means that if you fold the graph in half along the y-axis, both halves will match perfectly.

Odd Symmetry: Odd symmetry is another property of functions where the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin (0,0). If you fold the graph in half along both axes, both halves will match perfectly.

Axis of Symmetry: The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides a symmetrical figure into two equal parts. In even symmetry, this line coincides with the y-axis.

Parity: Parity refers to whether a function has even or odd symmetry. It helps determine how certain properties of functions behave under transformations.
