  2. 1. Test for Symmetry 2. Identify Even and Odd Functions 3. Graph Piecewise-Defined Functions 4. Investigate Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Behavior of a Function 5. Determine Relative Minima and Maxima of a Function

  3. Test for Symmetry Consider an equation in the variables x and y. Symmetric with respect to the y-axis: Substituting –x for xresults in equivalent equation. Symmetric with respect to the x-axis: Substituting –yfor yresults in equivalent equation. Symmetric with respect to the origin: Substituting –x for xand –yfor yresults in equivalent equation.

  4. Example 1: Determine whether the graph of the equation is symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis, origin, or none of these.

  5. Example 2: Determine whether the graph of the equation is symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis, origin, or none of these.

  6. Example 3: Determine whether the graph of the equation is symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis, origin, or none of these.

  7. Example 4: Determine whether the graph of the equation is symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis, origin, or none of these.

  9. Identify Even and Odd Functions Even function: f(–x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. (Symmetric with respect to the y-axis) Odd function: f(–x) = –f(x) for all x in the domain of f. (Symmetric with respect to the origin)

  10. Example 5: Determine if the function is even, odd, or neither.

  11. Example 6: Determine if the function is even, odd, or neither.

  16. Example 10: Evaluate the function for the given values of x.

  17. Example 11: Evaluate the function for the given values of x.

  18. Example 12: Graph the function.

  19. Example 13: Graph the function.

  20. Graph Piecewise-Defined Functions Greatest integer function: is the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

  21. Example 14: Evaluate.

  22. Example 15: Graph.

  23. Example 16: A new job offer in sales promises a base salary of $3000 a month. Once the sales person reaches $50,000 in total sales, he earns his base salary plus a 4.3% commission on all sales of $50,000 or more. Write a piecewise-defined function (in dollars) to model the expected total monthly salary as a function of the amount of sales, x.
