Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The equations provided are in the form of or or . . We are to determine the symmetry of the graph of each equation with respect to the -axis, the -axis, the origin, more than one of these, or none of these.
STEP 2
To check for symmetry about the -axis, we replace with in the equation and see if we get the same equation back.
STEP 3
To check for symmetry about the -axis, we replace with in the equation and see if we get the same equation back.
STEP 4
To check for symmetry about the origin, we replace with and with in the equation and see if we get the same equation back.
STEP 5
Let's start with the first equation, . Replace with .
STEP 6
implify the equation.
STEP 7
Since we got the same equation back, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the -axis.
STEP 8
Now, let's check for symmetry about the -axis. Replace with in the equation .
STEP 9
This is not the same as the original equation, so the graph of the equation is not symmetric with respect to the -axis.
STEP 10
Finally, let's check for symmetry about the origin. Replace with and with in the equation .
STEP 11
This is not the same as the original equation, so the graph of the equation is not symmetric with respect to the origin.
STEP 12
Therefore, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the -axis only.
STEP 13
Repeat steps5 to12 for each of the remaining equations to determine their symmetry.
