S s-10 Parity of A Function

This document discusses the parity of functions. It defines even and odd functions analytically and graphically. An even function f satisfies f(-x) = f(x), while an odd function satisfies f(-x) = -f(x). Several examples of even and odd functions are analyzed. It is shown that the sum, difference, product and quotient of two even/odd functions can be even or odd, depending on the specific functions. Graphical symmetry about the y-axis and origin are used to determine if a function is even or odd.
