Is the graph symmetrical about the x or y axes?
Remember, the graph is symmetrical about the y-axis if replacing x by -x in the equation of thegraph doesn’t change the equation. The graph is symmetrical about the x-axis if replacing x by -x does not change the equation of the graph, apart from making the equation the negative of the original equation. • You may also think about where the maxima and minima occur (by differentiating).
