If (x,y) lies on the graph of f, then the value y = f(x) is the height of the graph above the
point x (or below x if f(x) is negative).

Let f be a function defined on an interval 𝐈 and let x1 and x2 be any two points in 𝐈. A function y=f(x) is an even function of x if f(−x)= f(x) for every x in the function’s domain.
A function y=f(x) is an odd function of x if f(−x)= − f(x) for every x in the function’s domain.
1. If f(x2)>f(x1) whenever x1 < x2 , then f is said to be increasing on 𝐈.
The graph of an even function is symmetric about y- The graph of an odd function is symmetric about the
