Test the equation for symmetry

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I know-If a graph is symmetric with respect to the X-axis, replace y with –y and the new equation should be equal to the original. -If a graph is symmetric with respect to the Y-axis, replace x with –x and the new equation should be equal to the original. -If a graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, replace y with –y and the x with –x and the new equation should be equal to the original.

Can someone walk me through it?

OpenStudy (loser66):

I don't know much things like what you know. i just know that is the equation of an upward parabola with vertex (0,0) therefore, it has y-axis is its symmetric but if you need the test, just put the information into the equation.

OpenStudy (loser66):

y = 3x^4 +10x^2 = or not= 3(-x)^4 +10(-x)^2??? surely they are equal, right? sp?? y is its symmetric axis

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks.

OpenStudy (loser66):

the most important is you understand how to test, right? got it?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Let me work one more and I will tell you for sure.
