Odd Symmetry

Definition

Odd symmetry refers to functions that exhibit symmetry about their origin (0,0). If you fold the graph in half along the y-axis, the two halves will be mirror images of each other.

Even Function: Functions that exhibit symmetry about the y-axis. If you fold the graph in half along the y-axis, both halves will overlap perfectly.

Origin: The point (0,0) on a coordinate plane where the x and y axes intersect. It serves as a reference point for determining symmetry.

Reflection: A transformation that flips a figure over a line or point. In terms of odd symmetry, it refers to how one side of the graph reflects onto its mirrored counterpart across the origin.
