Lesson 3.1Graph Cubic Functions Goal Graph and analyze cubic functions. Vocabulary Page 126 A cubic function is a nonlinear function that can be written in the standard form y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d where a ≠ 0. A function f is an odd function if f (-x) =-f (x). The graphs of odd functions are symmetric about the origin. A function f is an even function if f (-x) = f (x). The graphs of even functions are symmetric about the y-axis. Y – Axis SymmetryFold the y-axis Test for an Even Function A function y = f(x) is even if , for each x in the domain of f. f(-x) = f(x) Symmetry with respect to t
