Essential Questions

1)What is the difference

between an odd and even
function?
2)How do you perform
transformations on
polynomial functions?

Even and Odd Functions

(graphically)
If the graph of a function is symmetric with
respect to the y-axis, then its even.
If the graph of a function is symmetric with
respect to the origin, then its odd.

Even and Odd Functions

(algebraically)
A function is even if f(-x) = f(x)
If you plug in -x and get the original function,
then its even.

A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x)

If you plug in -x and get the opposite function,
then its odd.

Lets simplify it a little

We are going to plug in a number to

simplify things. We will usually use 1
and -1 to compare, but there is an
exception to the rule.we will see
soon!

Even, Odd or Neither?

What did the negative on the outside

do?

-f(x)

Reflection in the x-axis

Study tip: If the sign is on the outside it

has x-scaped
What do you think the negative on the
inside will do?

f(-x)

Reflection in the y-axis

Study tip: If the sign is on the inside, say

y am I in here?

Example: Sketch the graph of f (x) = (x + 2)4 .

This is a shift of the graph of y = x 4 two units to the left.

This, in turn, is the reflection of the graph of y = x 4 in the x-axis.
y
y = x4

x
f (x) = (x + 2)4

y = x4

Nonrigid Transformations
h(x) = c f(x)

c >1

Vertical stretch
Closer to y-axis

Polynomial functions of the form f (x) = x n, n 1 are called

power functions.

f (x) = x2
f (x) = x3

If n is even, their graphs

resemble the graph of
f (x) = x2.

If n is odd, their graphs

resemble the graph of
f (x) = x3.
