Question
Formulate a condition for $f(x)$ to be symmetric with respect to the point $(a, 0)$ on the $x$ -axis.
Step 1
This means that if we take any point on the graph of the function, and reflect it over the point $(a, 0)$, we should land on another point on the graph of the function. Show more…

Prove that the only function whose graph is symmetric with respect to both the $y$ -axis and the origin is the function $f(x)=0$

If $f(x)=f(-x)$ for all $x$ in the domain of $f,$ then the graph of $f$ is symmetric with respect to the $y$ -axis.

Functions and Their Graphs
A function $f(x)$ is symmetric with respect to the vertical line $x=a$ if $f(a-x)=f(a+x)$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { (a) Draw the graph of a function that is symmetric with respect to }} \\ {x=2 \text { . }} \\ {\text { (b) Show that if } f(x) \text { is symmetric with respect to } x=a \text { , then } g(x)=} \\ {f(x+a) \text { is even. }}\end{array} $$
