Determine whether the function shown in the graph is even or odd. the graph starts at the bottom left, continues up through the x axis near negative one point seven five to a maximum around y equals two, goes back down through the x axis at the origin to a minimum around y equals negative two, and goes back up through the x axis near one point seven five. the function is even because it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis the function is odd because it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. the function is even because it is symmetric with respect to the origin. the function is odd because it is symmetric with respect to the origin.
