Lecture # 4

This document discusses different types of functions and their graphs. It covers rational functions and their domains and ranges. It also discusses exponential functions, logarithmic functions, even and odd functions, and symmetric graphs. Even functions have y-axis symmetry, meaning that if a point (x, y) is on the graph, the point (-x, y) will also be on the graph. Odd functions have origin symmetry, so if (x, y) is a point, (-x, -y) will also be a point. The document notes that a function cannot have x-axis symmetry and still be a true function.

x-axis Symmetry
We won’t talk about a function with x-axis symmetry
because it wouldn’t be a function.
