\subsection{Even and Odd Functions}For a function $f$ in the form $y=f(x)$, we describe its type of symmetry bycalling the function \textbf{even}\index{even functions} or\textbf{odd}\index{odd functions}.An \textbf{even function} means $f(-x)=f(x)$.An example of an even function is the function $f(x)=x^2$.  \begin{figure}[H]    \begin{center}      \begin{tikzpicture}        \begin{axis}[            ylabel={$f(x)=x^2$},            axis x line=bottom,            axis y line=center,            tick align=outside,            yticklabels={,,}            xticklabels={,,}            xtickmax=10,          ]          \addplot[smooth,red]{x^2};        \end{axis}      \end{tikzpicture}    \end{center}    \caption{$f(x)=x^2$ is an \emph{even function}.}  \end{figure}  An \textbf{odd function} means $f(-x)=-f(x)$. An example of this is the  function $f(x)=x^3$.  \begin{figure}[H]    \begin{center}      \begin{tikzpicture}        \begin{axis}[            ylabel={$f(x)=x^3$},            axis x line=bottom,            axis y line=center,            tick align=outside,            yticklabels={,,}            xticklabels={,,}            xtickmax=10,          ]          \addplot[smooth,red]{x^3};

Technically speaking, a \emph{graph} is the set defined explicitly here, while a function‘s \emph{plot} refers to any pictorial representation of a data set. However, since the usage is inconsistent in this text, these formal definitions will usually not apply. It can be safely assumed that as long as we are within the realm of real numbers, all uses of either \emph{graph} or \emph{plot} hereafter simply refer to the pictorial representation of a function‘s graph in the form of a curve on the cartesian plane.}If $ (x,y) $ is a point on $f$, then $y=f(x)$ is the height of the graph above point $x$.This height might be positive or negative, depending on the sign of $f(x)$.We use this height relationship to plot functions.\begin{figure}[H]    \begin{center}        \begin{tikzpicture}          \begin{axis}[              ylabel={$f(x)$},              xlabel={$x$},              axis x line=bottom,              axis y line=center,              tick align=outside,              yticklabels={,,}              xticklabels={,,}              xtickmax=10,            ]            \addplot[smooth,red]{x+2};          \end{axis}        \end{tikzpicture}      \caption{A plot of the function $f(x)=x+2$}    \end{center}  \end{figure}
