Is the Function Even, Odd, or Neither? (6 Examples)

In this video we go through 6 examples showing how to use the algebraic test to see if the function is even, odd, or neither. We discuss graphically what it means for the graph to be even or odd as well.

One way to make student understand ( since many don't teach as clear as you do) ....Teachers just need to show your videos! 😊

[@MariosMathTutoring]

Wow, thank you!

[@gregnixon1296]

I can see students scrambling for calculators and saying, “I can just graph it.”

[@Dreamprism]

Well, that does work, as long as I don't do something evil like y = (x-0.0001)^2 where the graph may not be precise enough for the student to see it's not symmetric about the y-axis. 😈

Good video.

Thanks!

Mario can you please make a video on how to solve proportionality in a triangle, with solving a side and also a variable

[@Dreamprism]

8:54 To elaborate a little more on that, we can say that any polynomial function with ONLY odd-powered terms is an odd function & any polynomial function with ONLY even-powered terms is an even function. These aren't definitions of odd and even and thus aren't the best reasons to give on a test, but they are properties of odd and even functions which one could prove. In this property, however, it's important to keep in mind that constant terms count as "0th power" (even power) terms and linear terms count as "1st power" (odd power) terms.

@@warrenhughley1214 he simply just divided the whole function by -1, which is now factored out and appears in front of the parentheses. explaining the -1 outside the parentheses and the sign change of the values inside the parentheses.
