Odd and Even Functions

Sorry for the delay on posting my blog Ms. Hwang, I had a few problems.
At first when Ms. Hwang tried to explain the odd and even functions I was confused,
but after reading throught pretty much everyones blog I know have a better
understanding about even and odd functions.
An Even Function to my best understanding is a function which is symetrical to the y-axis.
An even function should create a mirror like shape on the quadrant number 1 as created on quadrant number 2.
The equation of an even function should look something like this, f(x)=f(-x).






ODD FUNCTION: To my understanding of an odd function is that the function
is symmetrical to the origin. The equation used to find the odd function is -f(x)=f(-x). Odd functions pass through the x-axis and through the y-axis.
Remains the same as the origin but is reflected over to the x-axis as well as the y-axis.
