Test for symmetry about the x-axis: Replace y with (-y). Simplfy the equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation then the graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. Example: Use the test for symmetry about the x-axis to determine if the graph of y - 5x2 = 4 is symmetric about the x-axis.
Test for symmetry about the y-axis: Replace x with (-x). Simplfy the equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation then the graph is symmetrical about the y-axis. Example: Use the test for symmetry about the y-axis to determine if the graph of y - 5x2 = 4 is symmetric about the y-axis.
I didn't fully understand the question but this is the best I can do! Hope this helps! :D

A shopkeeper sold 12 bags on the first day. The number became four times

dybincka [34]

The total number of the bags sold by the shopkeeper will be 65532.

<h3>What is number series?</h3>

The sequence formed by using the numbers is termed as the number series.So in this question from day one to day seven each day the sold items are multiplied by 4.

So the mathematical expression will be given as:

$=(12\times 4^0)+(12\times 4^1)+(12\times 4^2)+(12\times 4^3)+(12\times 4^4)+(12\times 4^5)+(12\times 4^6)$
