odd function

[odd function|odd function] is a function whose graph is symmetric about the origin, meaning f(−x) = −f(x).

Definition

odd function is a function whose graph is symmetric about the origin, meaning f(−x) = −f(x).

Mechanism

odd function The graph of an odd function is symmetric about the origin. This symmetry is mathematically expressed as f(−x) = −f(x).

Causes

odd function The graph of an odd function is symmetric about the origin. Because − f ( − x ) = f ( x ), this is an odd function.
