Graphical functions

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &a.) \ f(x)=-f(x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &b.) \ f(x)=f(-x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &c.) \ \normalsize \text{neither even nor odd function} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &d.) \ f(x)\ \normalsize \text{doesn't exist at atleast one point of the domain.} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} \normalsize \text{}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess we are missing \(f(x)\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1435239903652:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks symmetric wrt the y axis to me, how about you?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

u mean it even function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, if it is symmetric wrt the y axis, it is even

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but it fails the vertical line test i think.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

why u think it fails ? like its not 1-1 function also not onto but u can see the symmetric

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1435240841975:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

vertical line test verdict : failed.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah the graph fails to be a function x=-2, 2

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

book gave it as even gunction

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

maybe x=-2, 2 are vertical asymptotes ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the only way the textbook answer makes sense i guess

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

huh dont use vertical line test its hmmm not our point the function itself is not a function but indeed its an even relation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then the vertical line test passes because that x=2, -2 lines don't really exist, think that the graph is defined only in the interval (-2, 2)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so that would be half circle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

something like this |dw:1435242199499:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

this is even funxtion

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes the graph that you showed must be like this to be called a "function"
