System of Equations and Matrices
3 Matrix Row Operations:
Switch any two rows.
Multiply any row by a nonzero constant.
Add any constant-multiple row to another
Even and Odd functions
Even function: 𝑓(−𝑥)= 𝑓(𝑥) Odd function: 𝑓(−𝑥)= −𝑓(𝑥)
Graph Symmetry
𝑥-axis symmetry: if (𝑥,𝑦) is on the graph, then (𝑥,−𝑦) is also on the graph
