Function symmetry introduction

Functions can be symmetrical about the y-axis, which means that if we reflect their graph about the y-axis we will get the same graph. There are other functions that we can reflect about both the x- and y-axis and get the same graph. These are two types of symmetry we call even and odd functions. Created by Sal Khan.
