Symmetry
The graph of f shown in Figure 75(a) is cut in half by the y-axis with each half the mirror image of the other half.
![Page 15: Chapter 2.6 Graphing Techniques. One of the main objectives of this course is to recognize and learn to graph various functions. Graphing techniques presented](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e585503460f94b50c2b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A graph with this property is said to be symmetric with respect to the y-axis. As this graph suggests, a graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if the point (-x, y) is on the graph whenever the point (x, y) is on the graph.
![Page 16: Chapter 2.6 Graphing Techniques. One of the main objectives of this course is to recognize and learn to graph various functions. Graphing techniques presented](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e585503460f94b50c2b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Similarly, if the graph of g in Figure 75(b) were folded in half along the x-axis, the portion at the top would exactly match the portion at the bottom.
![Page 17: Chapter 2.6 Graphing Techniques. One of the main objectives of this course is to recognize and learn to graph various functions. Graphing techniques presented](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e585503460f94b50c2b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Such a graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis: the point (x, -y) is on the graph whenever the point (x, y) is on the graph.

Another kind of symmetry occurs when a graph can be rotated 1800 around the origin, with the result coinciding exactly with the original graph. Symmetry of this type is called symmetry with respect to the origin. A graph is symmetric with respect to the origin if the point (-x, -y) is on the graph whenever the point (x, y) is on the graph.
![Page 28: Chapter 2.6 Graphing Techniques. One of the main objectives of this course is to recognize and learn to graph various functions. Graphing techniques presented](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e585503460f94b50c2b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Figure 78 shows two graphs that are symmetric with respect to the origin.

A graph symmetric with respect to both the x- and y-axes is automatically symmetric with respect to the origin. However, a graph symmetric with respect to the origin need not be symmetric with respect to either axis.
See figure 80.

Of the three types of symmetry—with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin—a graph possessing any two must also exhibit the third type.

Even and Odd Functions
The concepts of symmetry with respect to the y-axis and symmetry with respect to the origin are closely associated with the concepts of even and off functions.
