Answer:
Option A) The function is even because it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a graph of the function.
We can see that the given function is symmetric around the y axis as the y axis acts as a mirror.
Symmetry around y-axis
- The y-axis acts as the line of symmetry for the given graph.
- A graph is said to be symmetric about the y axis if (a,b) is on the graph, then we can find the point (-a,b) on the graph as well.
Even Function:
- A function is said to be even if
- A function f is even if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis
Odd function:
- A function is said to be odd if
- A function f is even if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the x-axis.
Thus, we can write that the given function is an even function as the the graph is symmetric to the y-axis.
Option A) The function is even because it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
