odd/even?

<p>For Math IIC...can someone please explain odd and even functions, how to recognize them or like tell them apart.</p>

<p>Also, anyone with a Titanium, how do you graph like hyperboles, etc.?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>thanks!!!!</p>

<p>from a quick google search, it seems like-</p>

<p>an even function f(x) has the following property</p>

<p>f(-x) = f(x) </p>

<p>an odd function f(x) has the following property</p>

<p>f(-x) = -f(x)</p>

<p>example:</p>

<p>f(x) = x^2
f(-x) = (-x)^2 = x^2
so f(-x) = x^2 and f(-x) = f(x)
even function</p>

<p>yall know about titanium question by chance?</p>

<p>thanks i really needed that :D</p>

<p>what titanium question?</p>

<p>how to type in hyberbole values (to get it) without rearranging anything...I've seen it on the 84</p>

<p>umm i think i ve answered this before, well u really cant just GRAPH a hyperbola directly, but what u do is u go to the home screen and put the "Solve" function on your equation, then at the end type ",y" (without quotations) which bascically means solve for y, then u should get two equations (rational) just copy/paste (hold Shift on it, then Diamond + Shift for copy, paste is diamond + esc) both into the y= editior and graph both, u should have ur coinc ( i think sometimes u get mroe then 2 eqns, not sure)</p>

<p>O and glucose101 ... u takin SAT II bio? (just curious)</p>

<p>no...I'm not taking bio <em>tries hyperbole</em></p>

<p>they have it on casios</p>

<p>lit, hist, math iic</p>

<p>wait so did u get it to work or not, i m pretty sure it works cause i did it once to solve an intersection and i was able to solve it..</p>

<p>ya...kinda</p>

<p>but it isn't what I wanted exactly....there is like a thingy where you input your own values and it graphs it for ya</p>

<p>You can't really input the values because the equations for a hyperbola (I think you mean hyperbola, not hyperbole...that's English), y is squared and stuck in the middle of a big equation. If you really wanted to graph it the way Xylem suggested should be the quickest way.</p>

<p>A quick way to tell even/odd functions is to see the symmetry of the graph. Even functions are always symmetrical to the y-axis (for example...x^2) and odd functions are symmetrical to the origin (draw in y=x or y=-x and see if the function is symmetrical to the line you drew in, for example x^3 is odd [draw in y=-x and see]). I find this to be the quickest way in determining even/odd functions since the functions given on the 2C are not very difficult anyway.</p>
