A basic wave function is a sine or cosine function whose amplitude may have a value other than 1.
The cosine function is an even function because it is symmetrical about the y-axis. That is, f(-x) = f(x) for all x.
The sine function is an odd function because it is antisymmetrical about the y-axis. That is, f(-x) = -f(x) for all x.
Yes. Along with the tangent function, sine is an odd function. Cosine, however, is an even function.
Yes f(x)=0 is both even and odd
It is an odd function. Even functions use the y-axis like a mirror, and odd functions have half-circle rotational symmetry.
yes
If you know that a function is even (or odd), it may simplify the analysis of the function, for several purposes. One example is the calculation of definite integrals: for an odd function, the integral of a function from (-x) to (x) (note 1) is zero; for an even function, this integral is twice the integral of the function from (0) to (x). Note 1: That is, the area under the function; for negative values, this "area" is taken as negative) is
An even function is a function that creates symmetry across the y-axis. An odd function is a function that creates origin symmetry.
I find it convenient to express other trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine - that tends to simplify things. The secant function is even because it is the reciprocal of the cosine function, which is even. The tangent function is the sine divided by the cosine - an odd function divided by an even function. Therefore it is odd. The cosecant is the reciprocal of an odd function, so it is naturally also an odd function.
An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. An odd function is anti-symmetric.
both
Yes. Along with the tangent function, sine is an odd function. Cosine, however, is an even function.
Yes f(x)=0 is both even and odd
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. A function can be either.
For an even function, f(-x) = f(x) for all x. For an odd function, f(-x) = -f(x) for all x.
An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. If a function is symmetric about the origin, it is odd.
You can tell if a function is even or odd by looking at its graph. If a function has rotational symmetry about the origin (meaning it can be rotated 180 degrees about the origin and remain the same function) it is an odd function. f(-x)=-f(x) An example of an odd function is the parent sine function: y=sinx If a function has symmetry about the y-axis (meaning it can be reflected across the y-axis to produce the same image) it is an even function. f(x)=f(-x) An example of an even function is the parent quadratic function: y=x2
