A function may be thought of as a rule which takes each member x of a set and assigns, or maps it to the same value y known at its image x → Function → y A letter such as f, g or h is often used to stand for a functionThe Function which squares a number and adds on a 3, can be written as f(x) = x 2 5The same notion may also be used to show how a function affects particular valuesEq1) or equivalently if the following equation holds for all such x f (x) − f (− x) = 0 {\displaystyle f(x)f(x)=0} Geometrically, the graph of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y axis Examples of even functions are The absolute value x ↦ x , {\displaystyle x\mapsto x,} x ↦ x 2First, note that the domain of the function is given by math 4 x^2 y^2 \geq 0 /math, or math x^2 y^2 \leq 4 /math, which is a disk of radius 2 centered at the origin in the xyplane Also, note that if we let math z = f(x,y) /math
